The Humpty dance is the chance, to do the Hump!

If you wanted to use both elements at the same time. You would want to upgrade your 30 amp GFI breaker, 10 guage wire and L6-30 outlet and plug to 50 amp Gfi breaker, 6 guage wire and 14-50 plug and outlet. If you were to only use one element at a time the the original power installation(L6-30)...

What advantages would one get by upgrading the raspberry pi 2 to the 3?

Dang it! I jumped the gun too soo!!! I would love to have one that could operate both elements at the same time!!!

Is there a 5bc now? What are the new features?

Thank You! I appreciate your help!

My point was the pigtail that was mentioned. Dropping that 30 amp circuit down to 12 gauge wire is not a good idea. The longer that pigtail is the less that wires ampacity is also. It may have an ampacity of 20 amps at a short length but lower ampacity at longer lengths. The 12 gauge pigtail...

There is a reason you can not plug the thing directly into a 30 amp receptacle. 30 amp breaker with 12 guage wire is not a good wiring practice. Larger wire with a lower rated breaker ok. Smaller wire with higher rated breaker not OK. I absolutely have a perfect understanding of electrical wiring.

By the way, I am an electrician.

The only bad information being propagated is telling someone that it is ok to plug these things into an improper circuit. The only reason I chimed in at all to begin with is the fact that bad information is being PROPOGATED! There is not one Electrical inspectors on this planet that would sign...

A 20 amp appliance connected to a 30 amp breaker is NOT a good idea. If something would happen to go wrong the Induction unit would burn before the breaker kicked. The same thing would happen if you used 12 gauge wire. The wire would burn before the breaker would protect the circuit. If you use...

That thing is a beast

That's a monster kettle! What size breaker are you going to be using for two 5500w elements. Are you planning to have dual kettles(HLT & boil kettle)?

Can any of you fellas help me learn how to update my Hosehead to the new Strangebrew Elsinore? I am very very computer illiterate. I need step by step instructions. Someone to hold my hand, perhaps. :mug:

Her are a few pics of my Boil kettle. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]
