I am brewing 5 and lighter 10 gallon batches on my stove and I am wanting to upgrade to a bigger kettle and switch to only 10-gallon batches with electric. I have two kids under the age of two and it is difficult to brew as frequently as I would like so I want to increase my batch size to only 10 gallons.
I am trying to keep the investment down and only replace my HLT/BK with an electric setup. I have a cooler that I use for MLT that is big enough for big 10-gallon beers. The issue I am running into is I am brewing in my kitchen and only have access to 120v.
Does anyone brew 10 gallon batches with success while only using 120v? Am I missing a common workaround on here? It seems like I would have to start brewing in my basement in order to use 220v.
Again, I am brand new to electric brewing and have been scouring this forum for the past couple of weeks so I apologize for the naive questions. My ideal jump would be Kal's pre-assembled heating element kit seems like a great clean addition to a 15 or 20 gallon kettle from Brewers Hardware.
Thanks all!
