Re: Wiring A Heating Element
Somehow I knew Alcohol was involved.....I was thinking a still..I was wrong, but right at the same time.
![]() To the OP, you can't just go sticking heating elements into something that will be consumed by friends and family. Boiling water to ferment beer is totally different than heating water to take a bath in. |

Re: Wiring A Heating Element
Rigging up homemade contraptions based on advice from anonymous internet "experts", without a full understanding of the physics and chemistry involved, would not seem to be the most likely way of accomplishing that goal.
An ordinary kitchen stove suffices quite nicely for boiling wort. |

Re: Wiring A Heating Element
Yes perhaps, but, for whatever reason, dude may want to do this someplace other than his kitchen.
Still think the water heater thing would work, but wouldn't a propane turkey fryer kit work as well? Could use that also for some killer soup during this fall.

https://www.love2brew.com/Articles.asp?ID=579 Also in the spirit of saving money, if you look up Bayou Classic Steam Pots you will find their sizes of posts range all the way up to 160qt, 40 GAL!!!!! Which is a very large mash tun and extremely cheap compared to a blichmann a fraction of the size. Im likely getting one and going to wire in a few of these elements and run it with a thermostat outlet switch ![]() Can't wait! Happy brewing! |
