I will do this to my turbo boiler. I did the same to my Guten where I could flick a switch and it bypassed the Guten controller board. Then I plugged the elements and pump into a craft beer Pi controler box I made (via IEC Connectors I isntalkee underneath) works great and I control my Guten via a webpage.howie wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 7:05 pmhave you thought about re-wiring the 1900w element.kakashi wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 3:31 am I have no complaints about the KL pot still. For the size, it does a pretty decent job. It clears a 25L batch in about 3 hours from cold (using only 1900 watts, 2.5 hours for full 2500 watts). If you're handy with solder and have enough pipe you could make a better one, but for the price it's really hard to complain
I go back and forth on using all 2500 watts. Sometimes it's just fine, and sometimes I smell vapour and the head of the still is too hot. Might be to do with the temperature of my tank water, or the pump not giving enough pressure.
i wired it so, at the flick of a switch, i can change it from 'normal' to being connection to a voltage controller.
among various other equipment tweaks, it's probably the best and most effective thing i've done.
What voltage controller did you use and does it fit underneath your boiler? My turbo boiler has a hollow gap underneath.
