Anyone put 2 elements in their keg? How did you do it and would you of done it differently if you did it again. 2x2400w elements. Im not looking for placement information mostly.
Depending on the size of the elements as to whether or not you will be able to run them simultaneously(had to google that word) will be the difference... and also what size element also...
I have a 3600W on the bottom and a 2400W above. The 3600W will draw 15 amps and because a 15 amp, by law, has to be on its own circuit will not be a drama to run. The 2400W 10A element, depending on what else is on the same circuit, is fine to run on the standard outlet you have available(may have to turn other appliances off during stilling time, Mrs will have to do the dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher :mrgreen: ). I also have a voltage controller as per Panda's thread, that i use for the 3600W element to give me flexibilty and control. The 2400W element is only used to get the wash up to temperature then i switch it off.
Hope this helps, as im not sure of your setup and what you have available. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
