Yeah we had a local brewer with a Crown urn running a cheapy white Bunnings lead that used to get hot during the boil and took forever to actually get there. that was part of the problem, but after using a HD one still had issues, so he got a sparky mate to check the wiring (1960's house) and there was problems there too. Was apparently not getting full power - an easy fix with a happy ending.paulyman said:Sorry I should have said it gets to 90 after the sparge but while the basket is still draining. But yeah the last few times it takes an hour to get to the boil from 90. I make sure the Variation switch is on normal, give the bottom a good careful clean with the mash paddle to remove any crud from over the element. I am getting my sparky to put a seperate circuit outside under the carport for my brewing maybe that will help as You said Martin as I won't need a long extension lead.
