Smallest boiler 5500 element

In our view 30 gallons and under is considered hobby size. Do not bring anything larger than this to our site.

Smallest boiler 5500 element

Post by Up in the Shed »

Hello Everyone,

I have been running a 20 gallon boiler with 2” pot and reflux stills for the last 5 years. It’s a 20 gallon Spike brew kettle and I have a 4” and 2” TC tigged to the lid. I have an electric brewery, and use full electric controls, with 0-100% imput.

However, my element requires a minimum of 12+ liters to cover the element. The element attaches to boiler with 1.5” TC.

I would like to buy the smallest boiler possible, that I can use the 1.5” TC 5500 element for smaller batches. I regularly do macerations with all the botanicals in the pot, running power at lower levels and no scorching.

What is smallest boiler folks have used with an internal tc attached element? Thanks
