I am thinking about making an electric brewing system. I've started my planning but I need some clarification on heating elements.
First of all, I need to find a circular heating element. I will have issues using regular stick heating element. I want the heating element to go around the edge of the container on the bottom.
As far as I understand it is preferrable to use Ultra Low density for heating elements. I have a 20 gallon pot in which I want to boil probably around 17 gallons. I am not sure how many watts does the heating element need to have.
Also, I dont understand 100% the concept of PID for heating elements.
Thank you fellow brewers.
