My 1000 watt bucket water heater on my electric stove can bring 4 gallons of water to a lazy boil.
It sounds like full a volume all-grain "brew in a bag" will need to boil as much as 7 gallons from the start. I am worried that my current heat stick won't be able to do the job.
I am thinking of building a heatstick following this tutorial. I do have a 20 amp outlet in the kitchen, so according to the tutorial I can go as high as 1500 watts. Will that make a big difference? Can I go with a 2000 watt element?
My range is plugged into a 50 amp outlet. Should I consider using that?
