Cheers. I thought of putting the element on the bottom shortly after I posted this. My plan is to clock the pump 90 degrees from where it is in the screen shot above and put another tee in at the bottom for the heater and put the thermistor on the tee on the top.

Hmmm. I thought it was a 75mA difference that tripped a GFCI, but you and the rest of the Internet says otherwise. I guess it's been a while since my industrial safety course.

The current required to trip a GFCI is enough to kill you. Every piece of exposed conductive material has to be grounded.

Here's my design: A brewer friend said I may need a bleed on the top to keep the wort from boiling and scorching. Is that necessary?

I planned to go simpler than that. The orginal plan was to run the pump continuously (plugged directly into 110VAC) and then just on off control for the heat with an SSR, and yes I plan to wire a load resistor on the pump circuit so I can prevent the element from heating with out flow. I...

Hi, this is my second post. The first post was apparently in the wrong sub forum. I've been brewing for about 5 years now. I'm a process engineer so it follows that I am curse with an insatiable desire for process control. I have a 14 gallon kettle with a valve on the bottom. I also have a...

Hi, this is my first post. I've been brewing for about 5 years now. I have a 14 gallon kettle with a valve on the bottom. I also have a 8500 BTU/hr heating element from a hot tub. I want to install the heating element inline with a Brau inline pump and control the temp with a thermistor...
