Hi everyone Im making home brew i know i can look on home brew forums but ive less chance getting it wrong on here!!
I intend on buying a kettle and inserting the element into a plastic bucket, sealed and safe to boil about 30ltrs of water. what i want is for when the water reaches boiling point for the element to reduce the heat it produces, not turn off completely.
This is so i can have a steady rolling slight boil for approx 1 hour and not an overflowing bucket which the element tripping out or risking my household electrics.
I understand the safety of water around electricity so will have an RCD attached and nothing else will be running off the plug i am using.
I am not going to use a dimmer switch on a kettle but that is the idea of what i want i.e. control of the temperature. I hope this makes sense.
Dont be concerned about giving ideas i am not capable of if im not sure i will not try it. I appreciate all opinions as to what i can do. I might be missing a simple solution!!
