I've been working at moving towards electric brewing for the past few months now and have been slowly buying parts. The big hold up was trying to figure out a 240v power source. My garage does have a 240v dryer outlet but it is non GFI and about 20 ft away from my stand. In the end I decided to go 120v because the cost of running a new line/building a GFI extension was more than I liked and we plan to move out of state soon and will probably rent a place at first and im sure i will have an easier time finding 120v power than 240v. Also I have a 15a and 20a outlet in the garage both already have GFI protection.
Anyway, I am trying to figure out the best way to wire these up. I am looking at either a 2000w + 1500w or 1500w + 1500w. Either way running 1 element off each outlet i have available. Ideally I would like to control them both off 1 PID. I did find a diagram that's close to what I'm looking for:
However this diagram calls for matching elements and outlets. Since I will be using mismatched elements and outlets I'm not sure this will work for me. Any suggestions on making this work?
