Hey all,
I've been brewing for about a decade on propane and I've been looking to go electric to escape the balmy WI winters. I am new to posting on homebrew talk, usually I just read and absorb.
I typically do a no sparge method where I heat the water in the boil kettle, gravity drain to mash tub (cooler), then drain/ pour wort I to BK. I am looking to do the same thing with electric.
I have been scouring the HBT electric brewing threads and found a few I think would work for what I am trying. I have read Kal's site and that's awesome but I don't have the space nor desire for a 3 kettle system.
I have a few posts on here that are close to what I'm thinking. I have a few pictures to help explain what I want to do. The wiring diagram is from here, I forget the exact thread or author (sorry). Then I have the 30a gfci box and wiring and finally the laid out ssvr wiring then all of it in a box.
I tried testing this with the dryer and found out dryers and gfi don't get along. Like a trip every time kind of relationship. I have stainless elements in the mail but I'm wondering if this looks correct? If not I want to have it ready to go so when the elements come in I can a water test fairly quickly.
All plugs are standard 3 prong dryer plugs. I will wire another one to the element 5500watts.
Thanks for your knowledge and creativity!
