Just getting into e-brewing and gathering parts. I've read lots of posts and am curious about the practicality of controlling the 5500W element with a three way switch. It seems that I've seen that with the element wired 240v will bring 12gal of water to a boil, and with it wired with 120v will maintain a boil.
I like keeping things simple and would like to find a three-way switch that will in one position run the element 240v, a middle position of OFF, and a third position running the element at 120v.
While I am digging around reading & looking, if anyone knows of a switch or has an opinion wether this is a good idea or not please let me know.
