Hey guys after being inspired by QLDkev's 1V project i am planning one of my own, the major differences with what i have planned is that i will be sticking with my gas burner & adjustable high pressure reg combo for the boil as i really like the control i have with it and that i will also be sticking with my grain bag for the time being.
I have sorted out most of the items i need but need to decide which element to use, i have read posts from people worried about scorching the wort with too much power/heat density, i'm not sure if that's a real concern or not but may be best to ere on the cautious side just in case. I'm sold on the idea of a plug and play element and have narrowed it down to the following choices;
this 2400W one from craftbrewer

this one from 1380W one from Ibrew
http://www.ibrew.com.au/products/heating-element-900w
Or my LHBS has some Eccencia copper ones ranging from 1250W, 1500W & 2000W.
Keeping in mind that i will only be asking the element to heat the strike water (35-50 ltrs), maintain the mash temp (will be re circ'ing) & heat to mash out temp, after that will be handled by my gas burner. Which one will have the most balls without `scorching the wort'?
