Here is a short run down of what I ended up doing. I sourced two 1500w elements online. I got the kettle parts from bargainfittings.com. Went with weldless because of no access to a welder. The also have the drill bit and nuts for the element. The bit is quite a bit cheaper than buying from a...

Yes I did sweat. ;)

Electric brewing part of the forum is where I found all the information I used. I won't even attempt to explain my process because others have explained it so much better than I ever could! If anyone does have any specific questions though I would certainly try my best to help.

It is on 120v on two separate circuits. Mainly just stole ideas from around here. Decided I needed to go with the 1500w elements as the place I rent is older and has 15amp breakers plus we move quite a bit so never know what might be in the next place. It has worked well for me as I have brewed...

Organized chaos is my speciality!

Sorry for the slow response. I used Evirotex Lite. I got it from a craft store when they would have 50% off coupons. It is very easy to work with as long as you follow the directions and continue to build up the layers to the thickness you want. Actually quite forgiving stuff.

Thanks :)

So slowly but surely I have been getting everything together for my keezer and ekeggle build. Many long hours searching for ideas on here and Craigslist to try to find deals this is what finally came out of it all. First run with the ekeggle tomorrow hopefully and then the waiting game to keg...

Thanks for the help guys. Changed my ground connections to be better and seems that everything is going great. Thanks again.

I don't have have a way to test it at the moment. Could lack of a proper ground connection cause it? Just thinking out loud hope it doesn't show my ignorance too bad.

I just tried the circuit breaker test. It seems that everything is like it should be and cuts off the right outlets it should. Even more confused now.

It seems to be an overcurrent as the GFCI doesn't trip. It is only tripping in the breaker box. I have made sure nothing else was running on the same circuit as well. About to start troubleshooting again here in the next few hours so any suggestions on what to try first are welcomed.

I do have GFCI for both.

Yes I am certain about the 2 breakers as I did have to reset 2 different ones a few times. Mostly it was only one that would trip. I even tried other outlet combinations with no success. Thoughts?

So I finally put together my keggle with 2 1500w 120v elements. Sorry for no pictures at the moment but I installed like many others have on here with the pvc housing on the outside. They are directly across from each other. Here is the issue: When I have one element plugged in and then plug...

I am in SE GA here and started my crowns (Cascade, Centennial, Fuggles) in pots last fall with potting soil that ended up growing almost 7 feet and it was past growing season. I recently planted them in a permanent spot with high hopes for this season. No expert but you could get away with...

Count me in for that link as well.

Well I am down on coastal GA and we shouldn't have any more frosts......hopefully. Even with the cold this week it might get in the mid 30s at night but probably not. Thanks for looking out for me though!

Yeah my crowns from Great Lakes Hops I got back in the fall are already sprouting again for this spring. Very happy with the plants and their service!
