I am building a 2.5g E-BIAB system that I want to be able to use indoors on the rainy days and outdoors on the nice days. Though my kitchen is wired for a 20amp circuit I am still debating between 1500 watts and 2000 watts. If I go with 1500 I can brew anywhere with this system, but if I go with 2000 watts I will be limited strictly to my kitchen, and most likely if I take the system elsewhere say to a friends house or such I will be very limited on hook up locations.
That being said would 1500 watts be adequate for 2.5 gallon batch?? If I am using it in my kitchen I can also my electric stove to assist and speed things up. But lets remove the stove from the equation, if running the element only will 1500 watts be adequate to do a full 2.5 gallon batch, looking to get 3 or so gallons into the fermenter.
