SAMPLER
Well-Known Member
I'm in the process of setting up a Brutus stand set up with control panel, PID and heating elements. I will be running gas to heat initial Mash Water and for final boil. I would like to use a heating element to maintain temp in the HERMS to control/maintain the Mash Temp as well as increase the HERMS temp to sparge with.
Currently I only have access to 120V with 15A breaker. I would like to use a 1500w element but understand that this is close to full capacity of 15a breaker. I could rewire that line and up the box to a 20A breaker but was curious if that is necessary at this point. If was to up my build to bigger elements or go full electric I would definitely make serious improvements.
The current line is set with a GFI already.
Any suggestions.
