They look alright breakbeer, but will they be suitable for the controller?
Can't think of a reason why not? They're what I'll be using, so I sure hope soBrendandrage said:They look alright breakbeer, but will they be suitable for the controller?
I can highly recommend Punkin's element guard kits & elements - you'll find both on this page http://www.stilldragon.com.au/elements-guards-and-controller-kits/ his elements are 2400 (ULD), 3600 (LD & ULD) & 4800 (ULD) W, depending on what you wantBrendandrage said:Ok I'm a ******* when it comes to electrics, and while I will build a new brau clone to suit the new controller in the mean time I want to add 2 elements to my existing 80 litre pot. My question is what size elements should I use so I can use them with the controller and where can I get them?
Cheers
So Mr Bear, where in the rig would these go? If they go horizontally, low in the pot, they'd mess with the malt pipe sitting against the base of the pot. You could go the cam lock option, I guess. Or were you planning on having the elements go vertically up in the space between pot & malt pipe?dropbear85 said:[SIZE=10pt]Hey Guys,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Just a heads up for people who are looking for 2000w elements to stay under 10A. I ordered a couple of these on ebay [/SIZE]http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251336523089
1” BSP fitting so they should screw straight into my 5star element guards which got delivered last week (damn they are a good quality guard!!), or you could rig up your own guard pretty cheap like a few other guys have done.
I can’t vouch for the quality of the elements yet because I haven’t received them but at $20 each with free post they’re cheap enough to give a go.

I'm building something like qldkev has so I have an inner pot which is elevated above the elements with bolts. Not a malt pipe that sits on the base of the potJB said:So Mr Bear, where in the rig would these go?

- Unless you're not going for the 1v brau clone - in which case, just disregard my query!
yep gotcha, I have amate who's built something similar. I haven't seen kev's setup, does wort get into the malt pipe via a cam lock attachment?dropbear85 said:I'm building something like qldkev has so I have an inner pot which is elevated above the elements with bolts.

Your working on something? Lael your a busy guy Thanks! Hehe. Sign me up for your next project!lael said:I wouldn't recommend punkins elements for a 1v recirc as they will take up the center of the pot. People have gotten diy bendables from Tobins, custom elements from Romar, and I think there was another group mentioned as well. I'm working on something custom to suit if you are willing to wait a bit.
Edit: if you are doing a 1v style ala QldKev's rig, this or 5 stars distilling elements which are also spoken of highly might be suitable.
