I forgot that some induction coils are very small. Mine is 5KW on a 12 inch coil.

Plus there is no element in the pot to scorch the wort or burn a bag on. And the heating is very gentle and even, even at high power settings. Thing1, in my sig, uses a 5KW induction coil.

Problem solved. Over the last 2 weeks I tested the following trying to get my sugar water to ferment. - changing pH (7.1 to 5.2, using various acids) - changing temperature - aeration with a drill mounted whip - adding more DAP - adding Epsom Salt - tomato paste - lemon juice - boiling and...

Thanks for sharing that. I've always wondered how well that would work.

My 11 gallon Bayou Classic pots are induction capable. (1044 and 1144) I'd buy an induction friendly pot before I did a Bain Marie with a non induction pot.

I tried that and it didn't work.

I'll condense the vapor so it doesn't steam up my house. ;)

I might have to boil it to make it taste good. Maybe flavor it with some berries.

Umm... a flavorless beer ? ;)

Many thanks. I'll test it out tonight. Will Cream of Wheat work ? The real stuff, not the instant stuff ? I've got lots of brewing malts. Should I just boil up some malt ? How much wheat germ for 8 gallons ? FWIW, I've been brewing for 20+ years. I've never had wort that didn't ferment.

What is in them that makes them work ?

Thanks for the reply. What are these Seltzer things ?

Please tell me more. I've made several sugar washes with DAP, Epson's salts, agitation, etc. None of them will ferment.

What do I need to ferment a 1.060 water and sugar mix ? Other than yeast, water and sugar...

It's not about money. These companies don't do a single original thing. DIY brewers (the only kind there were 10 years ago) built systems like that or better in their garages. Now that it has become trendy all these companies have come out of the woodwork copying what the DIYers used to do...

You mean this system ? Wort Hog 2-Vessel │ 1 Bbl $3800 for 2 pumps and 2 kettles ? Pretty rich for me, even if they are 55 gallon vessels.

Nope.

And that is why you build an all in one instead of buying one. As well as several other issues.

Thanks for the replies, guys. The beer has finished fermenting. I've put the carboy in a plastic bag and sealed it. We'll see what happens going forward.

Thanks ! There are usually some internal supports underneath the glass. Not that I am aware of. The only people that seem to use it are the radiant and induction stove top people. I thought about getting a used radiant stove top, but people told me it wouldn't be cuttable without...
