Sorry for the long thread!
I'm currently planning on moving on to an BIAB AG setup. I've decided to figure out a parts list and price for a electric BIAB setup since I live in an apartment and can't have propane on a balcony, etc, etc. I'm basically taking lots of information from Johhnodon's build thread and Kal's Electric Brewery website and P-J has been nice enough to hook me up with a wiring diagram! I'm a complete newbie when it comes to everything electrical, but I'll have some of my electrical savvy friends look over my shoulder!
EDITS:
- Added wiring diagram
- Added control panel layout
- Added contactor per diagram
- Updated questions
- New control panel layout (this one is drawn to scale!)
Kettle:
Amazon - 62qt Bayou Classic Pot with Basket
Brew Hardware - Weldless Sight Tee + cleaning brush (temp probe will be installed in the tee)
Brew Hardware - 3-piece Stainless Ball Valve
Brew Hardware - Weldless Bulkhead
Brew Hardware - 1/2" Hose Barb
Wilserbrewer - BIAB Bag
Heating:
NOTE: After pricing out all the parts for the heating element, I end up with $135 + shipping while Kal's part kit is $145 + shipping. Peace of mind is worth $10 to me!

Wiring diagram (Thanks P-J!!):
Spa panel wiring:
Control panel layout (drawn to scale):
Current questions:
- Are the plugs in the parts list correct?
- Anything extra needed for the spa panel or does everything come with the purchase?
- What size enclosure would be optimal for the layout above? Where to buy one?
