I'm hoping to wire up a 1500W 120V water heater element to heat brewing water for steeping specialty grains. (I'm easing my way into all-grain brewing by brewing a beer that requires some specialty grains.)

Any suggestions on wiring, insulting, and ground the element? I'm sorry for the redundancy, I have read a bunch of threads on this forum relevant to this topic, but I wanted to ask because I'm scared of electrocuting myself :no:
