Heating Element for keg boiler

Postby Speedmaster71 » Thu May 19, 2016 2:28 pm

Well my Keg King 2200 Watt brew heater decided to go bang! From what I've read it's not that uncommon but I'm finding it hard to find any alternatives that are already wired and that fit into the same 32mm hole. I'm after something that heats up a bit quicker too.. maybe 4500 watts?
Any suggestions would be appreciated....
Cheers :handgestures-thumbupleft:

the fsd ones are brilliant and only need basic wiring up, not condoning it but its easy as piss to wire it up yourself, and as stated 2400 is the highest you can go on a 10amp circuit( 10 amp is the normal house socket rating), if you had a 15amp circuit you could run a 3600 watt. unit
