Building a 100 litre boiler but unsure of what sort of elements I need I have a seperate 15 amp circuit to the ten amp if this won't work do I need another seperate 15 amp circuit

If you have a 15a and a 10a circuits get a 3600w and a 2400w elements from 5star use both for heat up then drop back to 2400w for the run. Do you have a bubbler? I see you have a pot still. Do the same but run a voltage controller on 2400w element :handgestures-thumbupleft:

In the process of putting a few things together I caught the build bug again

I know nothing bout using voltage controllers would I need one even for a pot or just running a bubbler and boka or something lol

Yeah you need a controller for the spirit run cyber :handgestures-thumbupleft:

On a pot yes i think most people run 4" bubbler on full 2400w..

So have I been doing it wrong this whole time on my 50 ltr keg I have a 2400 watt element without voltage controller and have used it for low wines and spirit runs

Not me :teasing-neener: I tend to turn her down to about 8.5amps. Maybe when I get a needle valve for the RC I might be able to run flat out

Ok what does turning it down do to the product

It allows your product time to separate your foreshots ( these are dangerous) heads and hearts tails giving you a far better product all this is in beginners on cuts and fraction a must read ( a few times to get a handle on it ) :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I didn't know turning it down helped with that best I b buying one then

When you get one have it made so it will handle two 3600 watt elements that Wah if you upgrade later it will still do the job for you buy once it'll last a long time :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I find the output is to fast and abv drops if I run at full 2400w. But as I said, I reakon if I had better control of the water through the RC I might be able to stabilise it at full whack.

Is there ones for sale here as a complete unit all seem to be build yourself as I don't like messing with electricity preferably one with a meter on it so u can c what its doing

Troglodyte has one for sale as a complete package it looks a great buy has all you need up front a flash controller included a controller can cost from 300 to 400 depending on who does it mine was 250 with just parts! If you buy Troy's setup I have dibs on the fermentor :handgestures-thumbupleft:
