sorry I meant 6000 watt elements. I must have typed faster than I was thinking. I am still going to wire them the same way though. I am buying them through Grainger.

Im going to have each on its own 240 circuit and they will run on a seperate meter than my house since they will pull approx 94 amps. I will most likely install 3 elements on the kettle but only use the third if i really just want to speed up the process

thanks I will probably go with 3 then

Im trying to figure out how many 7500 watt 240 volt elements to use in my 55 gal. kettles. I was thinking 2 but im not for sure.... any help would awesome

how many watts and volts are the heating elements in the kettles?

We are batch sparging, the first batch we did was a dry stout and the est pre boil gravity was 1.038 and our actual was 1.028. we are hitting our volumes pretty close (a bit high by about .5 gallons). Also the temps for the mash came out spot on to what Beer Smith said they should be.

I have brewed two batches of beer all grain with my new equipment. I use a dual scale refractometer to get my gravity readings. My problem is that all of my gravity readings are far off from where BeerSmith estimates them. My Imperial Pumpkin Ale had an estimated OG of 1.106 and my actual...

I will get more pics soon but the water goes from the sink into the intercooler and there is a fan attached to the intercooler that blows air into it, we have the fan sucking air from the freezer part of our fridge which cools the water even more, then it goes into the wort chiller.It works...

We also took an inter cooler from a truck and mounted it to freezer on our fridge, the fan takes the cold air from the freezer and sends it thru the inter cooler to chill the water even more before it goes into the wort chiller. Just something i thought was cool that other home brewers can make...

Thanks my dad found it buried in the ground about 30 years ago. I figured i would put it to good use

Everything was made by hand except the pots and the bottle capper. We also have a fermenting fridge and afew other things we designed and built. More pics coming soon. The stand was made from scratch we bent the curls at the bottom of the stand and the rings around the pots so they dont slide...

The second link is the way to go, but make sure to buy one that is 110V the one in the second link is a 220V controller

You can purchase a two operation temp control and the heating pads they offer or a heater band. One operation on the control will send powet to turn the fridge on if it gets two hot and the second operation will send power to your heater if it gets too cold. They work off of the same...
