Hi all.
Hi just finished converting my brew pot to electric. At the recommendation of the owner of the Home brew Store I frequent, I opted for two 120 volt 1500 watt elements in my brew pot.
So today I decided to test with plain water. My volume was 7.5 gallons and the water temp was 53F at the start.
It took 45 mins to heat to my strike temp of 158F and then another 27 mins to come to full boil at 1 hour and 12 minutes. So it was about 27 mins to bring to boil from an approximate post mash wort temp.
So is this typical of two 1500 watt elements?
Just looking for some feedback as this my first experience with electric.
Thx!!
