Stainless Steel ULWD Heating Element 240V/5500W Straight Foldback

Save money on propane and take your brewing to the next level with electrical precision. Our 5500 watt stainless steel brewing element is made entirely of 304 stainless steel and will not rust, and is very easy to clean. The ultra low watt density element produces very low wattage per square inch, greatly reducing the chance of scorching and/or caramelizing your wort. If accidentally plugged in dry, these ultra low watt density elements will not break as quickly. However, always ensure the element is fully submerged in water/wort before turning on the power.

This element has no integrated plug and requires wiring knowledge along with an element enclosure.

Please Note: We are not electricians and cannot offer any electrical advice. Please consult with a licensed electrician before attempting any electrical work.

Below are a few real-world examples of average time required to heat water/wort using a 5500 watt element:

• 5 gallons of tap water (7°C) to strike temp (74°C) = ~ 22 min
• 10 gallons of tap water (7°C) to strike temp (74°C) = ~ 38 min
• 7 gallons of wort from mash-out (76°C) to boil (100°C) = ~ 7 min
• 12 gallons of wort from mash-out (76°C) to boil (100°C) = ~ 13 min
