Hi Everybody,
This is my first post and I really hope it is not too long of a post. I finally made the move from gas to electric brewing about a month ago and decided to purchase the SS Brewtech eController 1V and their eKetlle. When the package finally arrived, I was surprised to find out that the plug was not the standard 3-prong plug. I really had no idea. I was hoping for a way to connect the eController GXY 30A 250V male plug to a standard 3 prong plug (especially since I am planning to move in the near future). Having to install a dedicated 240V outlet circuit would be a waste. I started searching on Amazon and found a plug adapter for the exact connection I was trying to make. I bought a GXY 30A 250V female to 15A 125V male plug converter (see attached images). As soon the plug arrived, I was ready and prepared to make a mock-brew day to practice with my new set up. Unfortunately, the connection did not work. As soon as I turn the eController ignition side switch , it makes a buzzing noise and the displa does not turn on. I reached out to SS Brewtech and asked then if there was anything I can do to make this work without installing a dedicated 240V circuit/outlet but they only suggested a dedicated circuit.
Has anyone ever tried to make this type of electric connection? Anything else I have to buy to make this work? Should I just give up and hold onto my eBrewing dreams until I move (who knows how long from now)? Please let me know. Thanks everybody and hope everyone is safe during these unprecedented times.
