Thanks guys! I will be getting a 2 or 3 of the ones you linked to augiedoggy. They also seem to be easier to mount on a future panel!

Hello! So I have two pumps like this one that came with two AC adapters (13.5V - 1.5A) The same company sells speed regulators for like 30 bucks each, but I was wondering if one of those 7$ regulators would do the trick. Any other ideas? Thanks :)

Thanks everyone for the input! Okay so yeah, I guess it makes way more sense to have a single socket and only one element running at a time. I will not need both my HLT and BK heating up at the same time. So here is what I think I need so far:

What would that full current be? 22.92Amps or like, up to 30 in a random fashion? How about reducing the breaker amperage.. would that just make the breaker jump every time? Can anyone explain how a heating element draws current? If a regulator is required, is there any way you can help me...

Well, this is exactly what I want, except that buying this unit + an SSR + thermocouplers + etc. will be a couple hundred bucks more expensive than what I can budget right now :(

Thanks for the reply! Well, this is actually what I wanted to do in the long run. I currently do not really have the means to go all-out on this, so I though I'd keep it to a minimum for the time being. However, a more controlled (and possibly automated) setup would definitely be the dream...

Thanks for the reply! Well I have to be honest, getting a separate panel (and then controlling, possibly automating everything) is a plan for the future. I just don't really have the money to spend right away. So now this brings my next question: How do heating elements work regarding power...

Hi guys, Okay, so I will quickly start by saying that I know the obvious answer to my question would be "Call an electrician; dealing with electricity is serious business". I have limited knowledge of house wiring and such, and my plan is not to start playing with wires and make stupid...

Well hello there, so I brewed my first batch ever, turned out pretty well :) It's an IPA so I came up with the most original name. And well, here's what the label looks like. I went for a classic look! Oh and if you're wondering, I only had wine bottles around so that's why I bottled...
