Plans: I have a 70a breaker running a 6/2 plus ground wire that used to power a hottub in our master bath.
Change breaker from 70a to 30a GFCI.
run to a 240v outlet (what type?)
-Is there a way to add a neutral without running a new wire; I hate messing around in the panel? I would love to future proof the enclosure and be able to build out 120v access/automation as well for pumps.
Build an enclosure with a matching 240v input plug and Install:
On the kettle I will install a 5500w heating element in a hotpod (https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/hotpod-ewl3.htm) with a short cord and male 240v plug
In the end I hope to have a
The PID will use a temp probe to read the temp in the middle of the grains and adjust the element power to maintain a specific temp while a pump recirculates liquid from the bottom up to the top of the grains.

- 15 gallon kettle (https://www.homebrewing.org/15-Gallon-2-Weld-Volume...)
- with 5500w heating element and ball valve outlet under a false bottom
- I'll use a large screen basket (https://eastcoastbrewparts.com/.../300-micron-kettle...)for holding grains above the element.
