Ok,
So I admit I am a tooltard and everything else that most men know about like electricty etc I am also crap at...... I am awesome at Rugby League B) but when it comes to mens stuff I am hopeless,
So anyway I have used all my tool brain power and installed a kettle element into an old coopers fermenter - I am actually proud of myself as it works
However, it is a 2200W element and I cannot get 20L up to a rolling boil, it basically gets to about 95-98 and then bubbles slightly but no rolling boil.
So now I was thinking of installing a second element - but I believe this would blow the safety swtich? Does anyone know a way I can put a 2nd element into it or use a handheld version without blowing the safety switch?
FYI - The circuit it is on, is only used for the garage and the pool filter. So generally when brewing there is only mayby a light and the element on the circuit, but the safety switch covers all the circuits on the premises - if this makes sense, so if I have the element switched on and then go inside and turn on the kettle, the safety switch goes off....... :angry:
Sorry for the long post, but as I said - I am a tool (All things men should know about) Tard
Cheers
Mick
