boiler making

[fizzypop boy]

Took another step nearer to ag brewing today.With the fv i got on Ebay i fitted two kettle elements (2750kw )although brand new via my fathers den of all sorts they're old style round connector and after much looking decided bugg$% this and soldered the wires direct to element pins. Now all i need is a temp contol on one of the elements.No leaks and elements working but bit late now so i'll do a test boil with 5 gall of water tomorrow,with fingers crossed.

I agree. I've got a thermostat on mine but I don't use it. Moreover, I've got two elements and I only need one.

Good luck with it!
