I use two. One to direct fire my mash tun - I almost always do step mashes since this makes it so easy - zero scorching issues running full tilt. I have a second that I use to heat my sparge water. The typical consumer models don't have the power to do a full boil for a 5 gal. batch. I use a propane burner for that. One could easily boil a 3 gal batch though (I've gone that big for tomato sauce)
I can do the mash for a 10 gal batch though, but typically do 5 gal batches
Protto said:I boil wort on a 6Kw 3-phase 230VAC induction cooker that I built from three 2Kw units ripped a part and built into a custom box. I use a 20 gallon pot and brew 10g batches.
Photos please......!!
