I am considering changing my kettle to electric for several reasons I won't get into but can not get a great deal of info on the topic. Seems to be heaps on settle up a HLT with contollers and such but not on kettles. I guess what i would like to know is whether a similar setup will work as a controller would be trying to maintain a specific temperature?
What size element would be recommended for a standard 21 litre batch size, and are any controllers needed to throttle back the boil if it gets too vigorous?
Obviously there are dangers to watch out for, but stills that home brew shops sell have pretty basic element setups in them, so I figure something similar may work.
If there was a dummys guide to electric kettles, this is what I would need.
Cheers
