I am building a 2-3 gallon beverage cooler heat exchange vessel to maintain temperature and step mash.
Originally I was going to use a 120v 1500w element since I do not have a 240 outlet. But I discovered I have a 20amp circuit next to where I brew so I want to take advantage of it w/ the 2000 element.
My understanding is the johnson, ranco, love controllers can not handle this amperage (only 16 amps).
I am new to PIDs and SSRs.
Can anyone recommend a PID and SSR + Heatsink that would best fit my situation? Or the critical specs I need to be aware of when searching?
