So I've learned a few things about electricity today. In looking into amps, volts and watts...I know that I have a 15A breaker to the outlets on my porch. That will only allow 1800W max. 2 1000W elements would potentially trip the breaker and I would be pushing it at 1800W. I have 20A in the...
Thank you all. I suppose my current process should have been explained in my first post for comparison.
I fill the coiled kettle with filtered hose water to the 8.5 mark. It is then heated to suggested temp (ex. 160F for 154F mash or whatever). I pump 1 gallon into the cooler, then refill...
I think a heat stick is the way to go, so thank you for that. It would save from any more drilling or mounting. I am in no way familiar with what electric can do. If I were to get two of those bucket heaters (2000W total), would that at all allow me to heat this up to mash temp without gas in a...
Hey guys. I'd like some recommendations on moving forward with an electric HERMS based recirculation project. This is my current setup.
And the inside of the SS kettle.
The water in the kettle is warmed to mash temp and the mash water is pumped through the coil, back into the MLT...
