Induction

[rsaunch22]

Hello,

My dad recently purchased me a ssbrewtech 15 gallon triclad brew kettle as a starting off present... My question is this brewkettle compatible for induction? Is the triclad a ferrite? Also if yes what is the best induction stovetop for a kettle this size? Thank you

It's compatible and the Avantco IC3500 is probably your best bet. Note that it's 220V so you'll need an appropriate power source. Any 110V induction unit will be woefully under-powered for the volumes you'd be working with in that large kettle.

Nice looking kettle. As it's stainless clad over aluminum, it should be just fine for induction. Grab a magnet from the fridge and test how well it sticks to the bottom. Solid magnetic stick, solid inductive performance.

Agreed on the Avantco IC3500 for brewing. I got 2 of them, and they are used for more than brewing.

It's compatible

How do you know that for sure? Are all SSBrewTech's kettles magnetic?

I would be very careful about using it on a (multi-burner) stovetop. Weight can be an issue, among other things.

It says so on their website. I have the 5.5 gallon model and use it with induction.

Ah, perfect! Kudos to SSBrewTech!
