need to boil around 75 gals. have two 7200w elements. one element will be always "on", the other we want to be able to control. i planned on just buying the 240v blichmann power controller, but apparently they wont have more until september. WTF.
so does anybody else know of something pretty much off the shelf that will work? everything im seeing is too small (not enough amps) or more industrial /commercial and like hundreds of dollars. or i'd have to rig up my own controller with a pid, relay, box, etc. etc. i'd rather get something ready to go. dont even really care about temp control per se, i'd be happy with a reostat type set up where we can simply dial the power from 1 to 10.
advice appreciated
