Im basically building the electric brewery setup in keggles. Im not building that exact controler but a dumbed down version but i want to be able to control both heating elements at a time. so i had to go 50 amp.
I'm not trying to talk you out of it but just FYI, I've never needed to use both heating elements at the same time. Even so, I still installed a 50A circuit to run both pumps and one heating element. A 30A circuit might have been good enough but I gave myself a little extra headroom.

So i was thinking having the strike water in the boil kettle and sparge water in the HLT heating simultaneously. emptying strike water into the mash, and the HERMS coil will be ready to raise the temp if want to step mash. and if i have this system i dont see why not to step for everything.
