Looking at options for progressing in my hobby. I have read 110 is not enough power to heat a 10 gallon batch effectively. Here is my question... without having to do a major upgrade to get a 240 outlet in a filled out house panel...
If I build a 3 keggle system with gas fired boil kettle, a mash ton fed by a HERMS HLT keggle with a single phase element... . If I fill the HLT with near strike temp water from my boil kettle first, is the smaller element enough to do step mash and mash-out temp increases? Responsive enough?
Is a single phase feed source to a control panel to run a single element pid/ssr and 2 March pumps enough?
Thank you in advance. I am only long range planning now...
