Best element for a keg

[idzy]

Electricians are pretty expensive, and it's hard to find a good one sometimes! I do it all myself, if it lets the smoke out just swap the wires around, easy!

Hpal on brew day. He has just started his boil...

Dunno the diameter of your keg but best check that the element isn't too long to fit.

The first element is a bit touch and go with the A type keg unless I weld on a ferrule, so I am leaning towards the 2nd stick type one.

National Electrical Contractors association (NECA) recommended charge out rates for NSW. November 2014.

for what its worth.

Personally I say get someone that has been recommended to you or that you know.

Well I went with the stick element and gave it a test this morning. It works very well, but given the option would go the other element next time. This is mainly due to the ease of installation, removal without electrical disconnection and direct earthing opportunity.

Not sure if is 5 star or not. The link is on page one.
The surface on it isn't perfect, and there is a crevice around the element. Will try to take a picture tomorrow for ya.

Spog this is the bit I was talking about. If this area was welded it would be an excellent element with the tri clamp jig they sell
