brew kettle!

Could a domestic water heater get hot enough or would you have to swap out the elements? How would you calculate what size element you would need?

[GAM]

You would need to calculate the volume of the boil and at least remove the controls for the elements. Then calculate the BTU's required to bring that volume to a boil in a reasonable time.

This would not have an element it was hot (warm) water preheat for a hot water tank.

I know for a 55gal kettle they recommend two 5500 watt elements, each of which draw ~24 amps. This one would need at least one more, or you could probably do a jacketed glycol with an external furnace/boiler

Or weld legs/frame on it and use a burner of some sort.

I e-mailed the guy about it yesterday (prior to seeing this post) and haven't heard back yet. With the double walls I was thinking mash ton.
