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:
equipment: 2" pot with 2" shotty 400mm long 5x 1/2" on a t500 boiler. 50l keg boiler 4" still mount 4" sight glass 1" drain.. 4 plate 4" bubbler, 600mm packed section

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
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:

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
