Just picked up a blichmann Brewcommander and I’m having someone wire 240v/30A circuit. The Brewcommander 240v system OOTB has an L6-30 plug which plugs directly into an L6-30R receptacle for power. The guy doing the wiring told me that I can’t wire 240 to an L6-30R receptacle, that I’ll need to put a “4 prong receptacle” instead. Is anyone familiar with this that knows if I should trust this? This seems strange to me; I’ll need to find an adapter to plug into a 4-prong receptacle that then converts it to an L6-30 in order to plug the Brewcommander in? Also, why am I finding 240v L6-30R receptacles online if this is the case? Hoping someone with more knowledge about this stuff than I can help explain it to me.
