Electric brew kettle

Ive brewed electric only for the last 4yrs now, and it was probably one of the best changes I ever made. I have a fairly automated system now, though I started a touch simpler, for something really simple do this......,..



I would get an Auber controller like this

Couple it with a contactor via a switch for turning the element on and a SSR to supply power to one leg of the 240V. Be sure to have a GFCI breaker feeding the whole thing

I would also add a L6-30P and L6-30R so you can plug the element in and also remove it from the control box

Then cram it all in a box


Connect it like in this exceptionally well drawn diagram



You will also have to feed power to the PID controller (preferably fused @ 1A), and I would also likely add a 10A fuse before each switch, and a couple 30A's on the outlet to the element

Also make sure to size all the wire properly

 

Good work
