Never used their stuff, but Jagger Bush has a cheap 120v controller.

I really like my Brau Supply controller. It's a little more spendy, but very high quality. I have an older 15 amp controller. Here's a link to their new 20 amp.

Thank you for the recommendations TexasWine. I was actually reading a thread I believe you started awhile back regarding the Brau Supply system. I was sad to see that they use the Ranco Controller now instead of the 15 amp controller that you got. I wouldn't be able to use the 20A controller they have now in my 15A outlets, correct? Even with a 15A to 20A adaptor isn't that dangerous?

I'm happy to pay a little more for a quality 15A controller.

The 20 amp controller would be fine on a standard 15 amp outlet. The amperage is determined by your connected load, not the controller. However if you go with a 2000 watt element you'll want to find a 20 amp outlet to plug the controller in to.

Okay so just to clarify so I don't burn my apartment down, I would be absolutely fine plugging a 1500W element into this controller: http://brausupply.com/products/brau-20a-120v-electric-brew-controller
and then using an adaptor like this to plug into my 15A kitchen outlet?

yep! just make sure its a 1500w element into a 15amp circuit and you're fine
