I drilled a hole and added a 1500w element in the dead place between the malt pipe and faults bottom, I used my robobrew mostly for distilling now. I can now use my inkbird controller. Also will boil 10g plus no problem.
Would adding a bag to the basket help with the stuck sparge im getting. Most of my base malt on hand is all ready milled could I use a bag for now until what I have is gone and I mill my own.
I found a cheap $10 3000w 240v element at the hardware store to try and it fired up no problem. I’m thinking I may have damaged the elements when I bent them to make them fit. I’m not sure if it matters but on both the plastic where you screw the wires in is loose.
Both gfci are 15amp 1800w plus the ink bird built in gfci. Both run fine with gfci until with ground part of the hot pod makes contact with the part against the kettle.
The hot pod have two parts one connected to the ground wire, when I joint the two together it trips I’ve tried three gfci and made new cord still tripping.
Hello, I have two 1650w elements got them wired today using hot pods as my enclosure, as I contact the ground m it trips the gfci, both elements are doing the same thing.
I’m was in the same boat and am currently putting my system together went with a 20gallon came with two welded 1/2ports and I added another to whirlpool and added two 1650w elements. I’m still waiting for my steam condenser and element enclosures.
I brew after kids go to bed, usually takes about 4hours on my brewzilla. I clean everything as I go and whatever doesn’t get clean that night I’ll do it the next day.
I’ll give it a bit of a bend, thanks for the heads up.
I have them running on their own circuit, one element will be hooked up to a ink bird pid. I will unplug the other once I get to mash temp.
