I just acquired a set of kettles with boil coils installed in them. Two coils in a Keggle HLT(9000watts) and one coil for the BK(4500watts). I currently have a gas fired electric recirculating RIMS ala Brewmagic style brewery.
I would love to get rid of the gas burners.
I haven't found any controllers that I can just swap in powering the HLT BK, AND RIMS without changing out plugs during the brew day. ESP ones that can deliver all 9000 watts to the HLT.
Kal over at "The Electric Brewery" is trying to talk me into ditching the RIMS and switching to HERMS. then one of his 50 amp back to back panels would work... Even a 30 amp panel if I didn't want to do the back to back, But still leaves that extra heater hanging in the HLT.
How hard would it be to make a small box with one Male l6-30 in and TWO L6-30's out with a selector switch?
I would be able to use the brewery as designed or send the BK power back into the HLT's second coil to boost heat up times, esp in the winter heating 50* water to strike temps. I would rather turn a switch than plug/unplug wires.
