Going electric, heating element question.

Make sure it's a Low or Ultra Low Density element. You need this to prevent scorching!

Myth.... doesn't happen.

Disagree... Try boiling with a 5500W/240V high density element. Been there done that...

Sounds overpowered, and under-attenuated. Where you throttling back at all or running full bore? How long of a boil? You know, you are the first person that actually admits to scorching wort. Everyone else just regurgitates the myth. That's why I am interested. Some brewers claim to get brighter wort after switching from LPG to ELE.

Either way, whatever works for you is prime!:rockin:

I learned my lesson. Now it's 4500W ULD elements for Boil, HLT and RIMS (110v)...
