As the title hopefully suggests I'm thinking of wiring up a GFCI outlet for my in the makes electric brewery. This outlet would need to be not part of the wall, but in its own water proof outlet sized box that has a short short cable section that connects to an in-wall socket. A longer line of cable would extend from the brewery to this "dry" area where this mobile GFCI outlet box resides.
For reference this is a 120V 20A socket. I have one 120V 20A GFCI socket nearby, but it is in use for a heatstick to supplement the other 18A element that will be controlled by the electric brewery setup I'm talking about.
The reason for this odd setup is that
Does this sound crazy, stupid, or am I missing something here? Thanks

The reason for this odd setup is that
- I can not rewire the apartment I live in to add a proper GFCI. Its a rental.
- Using a GFCI breakers inside the brewery control box is 4.5 times the cost. $106 breaker vs $24.78 outlet of both 120V 20A.
