Now that im finally a homeowner, and other renovations are done, Im ready to start planning my basement electric brewery. I have read a fair amount over the last week or two, including the stickies, builds, etc. I have a reasonable grasp on what I would like my brewery to be capable of, and naturally have some questions.
I will do max 10g batches, would like to digitally control temp of HLT and BK but not at the same time, and will use my current cooler MLT.
I already have an unused 30a/240v breaker from baseboard heating I removed, but its not gfci so that is where my questions begin. What has me confused with this current breaker is it has a 3 conductor 10ga wire coming out of the panel currently. Reading across neutral/hot gives me 240, so that leads me to believe that what I think is neutral (white) is just the opposite phase hot (?)
If that's true then I guess i have 2 hot/ 1 ground coming off this breaker.
Understanding we don't bond neutral/ground beyond the main panel... would I run a separate conductor from the neutral bar into my 50a gfci spa panel?
Or do current 240/30a breakers have 2 hot/1 neutral/1 ground and my current breaker is just old? Im just confused on how to get a non gfci circuit into a 4 wire gfci spa panel
thanks in advance, sorry to get so wordy
