I think I am going to skip the boil coil because of the proprietary connector. While it seems well built, I'd be too worried to rest my investment on a single manufacture. Edging towards the 5500w ripple elements paired with a simple potentiometer based controller. Don't need fancy PIDs for single kettle batch sparging.

makes sense-just curious. i was reading the specs and its appears to heat 9-10 gallons of mash temp wort to boil somewhere between 18-25 minutes for 240volt....wondering if that's the experience others realize with it or not.

One thing i am planning on is using tri-clamps to secure the element. This will allow me to attach a blank cover and still use on a propane burner if I ever need to brew away for 240

STEVE- i ordered a new 5l flask and a disclaimer came up saying texas residents must provide proof of permit for lab experimentation, or order would be cancelled. whats up with that? texas have a meth problem?  very peculiar.

That's the reasoning for the law. It's dumb in my opinion.

IMO laws like that do nothing to prevent the crime - just prevent law abiding citizens from the freedoms we deserve.....silly indeed.

Agree!  As a society we haven't yet learned the lessons taught during prohibition of alcohol. 
Anyway I have the BoilCoil 240V.  I ran 7 gallons of tap water @ 56 degrees to my boil kettle the other night to test.  I don't think it got to boiling in 25 minutes, maybe 35.  I had some steam ventilation issues that distracted me and needed correcting.
