Wiring a Thor water jacket bottler

Anyone have experience wiring one of these bottling units… it’s a 26 gallon water jacket unit with 2 immersion heaters… it didn’t come with any wiring…

I'd start by looking up how to wire a hot water heater. It's basically the same thing. You said no wiring, but it doesn't have even the two elements wired into a junction box?

It should be 240V single phase. That means 2 hots, generally a red and a black plus a ground. If it has 2 elements both can be joined in a junction box. For that use 10 ga. From there to the panel, use 8 ga and check with a real electric supply house, not a big box store for breaker size. They will want to know how many watts each element is to know what amperage you need. If you design it as a plug in, be sure to use the correct plug and receptacle.
I suspect you will want a 40A or 50A breaker, even if the elements are 3500 watts, each then comes to 14.583 x2 amps, too close for 2 on a 30A breaker. If both are 4500 watts, each needs 18.75A x2 is likely too close to 40A and you should use a 50A 2 pole breaker. For the plug and receptacle you will need a stove plug and receptacle 50A, since there is no 40A made to my knowledge.
My bottler has 1 element 4500 watts, 16 gal tank. I have it on a 30A breaker and it plug into what is typically known as a dryer plug and receptacle 30A.
