If this is still available I'm Interested.

Perfect timing, just what I was looking for.

My digital thermometer just went wonky, so yup, I'm in.

That's what I thought. Once you.re comfortable with estimating the ramp up time.

Thermal paste, good idea! Is that a thermometer probe sticking in the bottom of you kettle? Do you recirculate with your setup?

Ran a quick test with 3 quarts of water in a pan. Unless I’m missing something about how its programmed it doesn’t get to temperature and then start timing. A “zone’s” time includes the time it takes to reach the programmed temperature. It will move on to the next “zone” even if the...

I wonder if the probe would work if it were inserted in a thermowell. I've been thinking of incorporating the probe in a recirculation rig or installing a thermowell in the kettle Instead of the thermometer. I'll be running some tests with the probe hopefully this afternoon. Would like to have...

I believe the weight limit is just about physical support. Someone here did something similar to what you're thinking. Support the weight of the kettle and bring the burner up to it. The 60# limit is fine for my small batches.

The quality seems ok but of course time will tell. So far I'm happy with it. I considered the Anvil all in one but wanted the burner because I have other uses for it and like that it will be used for more than brewing,

Reflectix is on my list.

So far I’ve only brewed a 2.5 gallon batch (Munich Helles from the Brulosophy site) with the new burner. I didn’t use the temperature probe since I had enough new things going on. I’m just going from 1.25 gallon batches to 2.5 - 3 gallons and going BIAB. The burner works better than my old...

Curious. If I had a 50°F basement I would think it a good place to store bottled beer. Does kegged beer require colder storage or should bottles also be kept colder. Certainly beers like NEIPAs need to be cold but refrigerating stouts just seems wrong.

Hello Wintry Mix, ;) I was just reading the manual for this induction burner while I wait for it to arrive. It's the only induction burner manual I've read that actually references it's use for brewing beer. The probe is wireless and can be used to maintain temperature. We'll see.

I've been tossing around ideas to get my brewing off the kitchen stove and decided to try this induction burner . It's said to handle 60 pounds. I wonder if the temperature probe will work out. Any here have any experience with this burner?

Like most folks, google (actually DuckDuckGo) something home-brew related most always gets a good answer here.
