RIMs tube heater

I have been using my HLT or BK to heat PBW cleaner for the fermenter clean up (5-7 gallons of water needed) with CIP spray ball.  Normally, this would be perfect to clean just with all my brew setup, but it is less and less convenient to do then.  I normally clean all the brew day stuff with scrub pad and bar keeps friend and hot water.  The fermenter is 2-3 weeks later and it really screams that it wants just 3 gallons of 180'F PBW.  Well, that is close to the minimum volume I can heat in my HLT and it is not great at getting all the liquid out of the vessel (it still has a dip tube and misses about 1/2 gallon on pickup).

Boil Kettle & Hot Liquor Tank Upgrades

I have been lusting after the idea of putting in some 1.5" ferrules in my HLT and BK to host some 5500W electric ripple heaters (240v of course). Just something I could quick plug in and with a big knife switch breaker box, quickly boost my gas heat options. Nothing fancy...just some raw V*A pure energy for the colder months and big temp steps...
