Blichmann Boil Coil Issues

[USMChueston0311]

Not acheiving a vigorous boil with my 20 gallon boil coil. It will not get over 199 degrees with a 17 gallon water test. Boiled for 30 minutes, and would not go over that temp, unless i left the lid on, and then it would hit 200 degrees and a more vigorous boil, but as soon as i would remove lid it would die down within seconds....

Is there a way to tell if the boil coil is 240 or 110?

And has anyone else had issues with a weak boil using the boilcoil?

wont allow me to attach the video i have in .mov format?

The 20 gallon boil coil only comes in 240 volt. It should be pulling 19 amps at full power. If you're concerned about it not drawing enough juice I'd suggest checking the amp draw with a clamp multimeter.

What are you using to control the element?
