Why do you have one element higher than the other one ?
I'm using an A type keg as my boiler & I wanted to run my elements as low as possible.
They wouldn't fit one above the other due to the keg rim that runs all the way round the keg. They might fit with a D type keg.
If I had of installed them on top of each other, the top element would of been above the first rim & if running under 30L in the boiler, there is a chance of the top element running dry.
The only choice I had then was to offset the height, one higher than the other, being careful to space them far enough apart as to have minimal element overlap.
I run both elements flat out until I hit temp then the top element gets switched off & I run with the bottom 2400w.
 
might have to wait it out i want these like free beer since everyone is happy with them could go gas just so i can try a brew till there in stock again. i do like the copper gaurd though thats mad

how long is everyones boil time?
