I'm putting together a still I bought a while ago and need help with the wiring...

Could someone tell me what is what? I guess the two wires joined together are the earth seeing as one of them are connected to the keg.

Your correct, but any info given here is not a guarantee ;-)

How's your insurance going to look when your house burns down because of wiring diagrams you got off the net ;-)

Insurance companies need the certificate to prove it was done right.

Anything else, your fucked.

Having said that if any of the sparkies on here want to comment go ahead :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Mate all you say is you're a home brewer and this is for your "mashing and sparging"...by then they have lost interest completely.

Home brewing is legal, back yard electrics is not!

Mate, arguing is not going to change our minds or our rules, just your membership status!
Get it wired profesionally ;-)

After researching I find that you are most likely in Adelaide (so fucking much easier when members display their aprox location ) :roll: I don't know if their is a sparky member there but any sparky can do it :handgestures-thumbupleft:
