Hi all
Who else is using induction ranges as their primary brew kettle? I have a 5 gallon stainless kettle and can do a fairly quick and steady boil. The problem is I want to move up to a full boil. The last batch I collected almost 8 gallons of wort and did 2 - 90 minute boils, hop steeps, chills, etc. It was a long day.
My concern with moving up to a larger pot is twofold. Will I be able to achieve boil on 8 gallons and will the weight break the glass on the cooktop? What is the largest size pot other induction brewers have had success with?
I have a Kenmore Elite free standing range that is rated at 2,500 watts. No idea how to convert this to BTUs.
Somehow I'm sensing an outdoor propane setup in my imminent future. Not a bad thing but just having started a Keezer project it would take some convincing with SWMBO.
Anyone have experience or advice to share with induction brewing?
