So more beer has this kettle:

Any idea if this would be strong enough to support a heating element? I'd probably solder a fitting into the opposite side from the couplings to screw the element into. Also, assuming this will be for 5 gallon batch boils (6-7 gal pre boil volume) would a 5500 watt 240 volt element be enough? Too much?
