I'll try to keep this short.
I have a US purchased Blichmann BrewCommander that runs off 240v through a Nema L6-30 locking plug. The pump accessory runs off of a standard US 120v receptacle. The underside of the controller states it requires 240v 50/60hz for the main power supply.
My question: Can I take this controller to Europe and plug the power supply straight into the wall with some sort of adapter? Or is there a transformer required? Or is this not possible at all? I've heard conflicting information about this and I'm looking for clarification.
Some assumptions I've made
Thanks in advance!

Some assumptions I've made
- The country I would be moving to typically uses the Type F outlet, 230v at 50hz. This is the common EU plug.
- Most circuits are 16amps, this means roughly 3680 max watts available
- I would need to downgrade from my 5500w element to something around 3500w
- I can run the 120v pump accessory through a 220 to 120 transformer
Thanks in advance!
