My 20-gallon pot is 17.25 inches wide and works fine on this cooktop. http://johnsonrose.com/product.php?item=47802 I do leave the lid partially on for a more vigorous boil, but removed it for this clip. I boiled off 2.8 gallons in 90 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ7-h0D69wo

Sounds cool, MrRumples. The unit does turn on with a light press of the power button, and the default is 1200W. I do not know of a way to change the default, but I think you may want a little more juice if you are doing a step mash versus just maintaining your infusion mash temperature. To...

I use a window fan up against my glass block window vent, held in place with a dowel. I use foam all around the fan to "seal" the edges and make sure the moisture does not blow back in. One thing I quickly learned during my first basement brew is that cold water pipes condense the boil-off...

The fuse holder I bought is rated for 30A, so I can always upgrade the fuse if needed without replacing any parts. I plan to give the 15A 250V another shot since I got a 4-pack of them at RadioShack. There is a huge heat sink and big fan on the unit, so I think the insides do stay relatively cool.

I don't know enough about electronics to answer your question about controlling external power, but I've included a photo of the insides that may tell you something. Seems like everything associated with the external power is a screw terminal and easily accessible.

Thanks for the tip. I believe what I bought are slow-blow: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102754

I have been active on this thread promoting this induction cooktop, posting photos and videos and answering questions when I can. Though I still love the performance of the unit, I did experience a problem that prevents me from giving it my highest recommendation. I feel I have to share it...

I would not be concerned - the cooktop may not weight much, but it's solid and very durable. I have a heavy 10 gallon stainless brew pot and start my boil with 7.5 to 8 gallons in it. It could easily take another 15 pounds of grain. Tell you what - I'm brewing this weekend and I'll throw my...

I would definitely say sandwiched. Even then, you can still physically see the rings of heat in the bottom of your pot, but I think the aluminum does dissipate it as well. Temperature readings across the diameter of the pot vary, but the good rolling boil evens things out. I have never had...

Sent John email for 3 sacks - 11 (or less) left

I have this pot: http://johnsonrose.com/product.php?item=47400 and it works great. I think you're better off finding one that's closer to a 2:1 height:diameter ratio, though. I just bought this one because I was able to get a great price on it through a friend.

My research seemed to indicate that more than 1800 watts is required for an all-grain boil. I have a wide 10-gallon pot that could have straddled two 1800 watt burners plugged into separate circuits, but pot's manufacturer (Johnson Rose) said one 3500 watt burner is the way to go. I couldn't...

Changed original description to include volume of 7.1 gallons

I realize this is an older thread, but I stumbled upon it when searching for info on this specific model. I was especially concerned about the larger diameter of my brewpot (15.75") and the supposed 10.25" limit in the current product listing. I couldn't be more pleased with this unit. The...
