Here are the instructions for building the 5KW induction heater for Thing1. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/diy-5kw-induction-heater.689121/ Moderator: how do I edit the first post in this thread ?

See Thing1 in my sig. The induction heater instructions are here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/diy-5kw-induction-heater.689121/

I built a 5 KW induction heater system for Thing1 (link in my sig) 2 years ago. Since then I've brewed a dozen trouble free batches with it. I've found induction heating to be ideal for brewing. It heats rapidly. It heats gently, there is no scorching of the wort or mash. There is no...

I like Thing1 better than either of these. Notice the problems he finds with the Grainfather. Also note that at 12:30 he says he's going to build a cart and mount the pump just like I have it mounted on Thing1.

LOL. Good use for it !

I don't call 1.060 a HG wort. HG starts at 10% - 1.080 as far as I'm concerned.

Immersion chillers use way more water and don't produce near the cold break that a plate chiller does. 190F in, 60F out. Does 7 gallons in 5 minutes. I used to own an immersion chiller. Used to. Clean up is as simple as reverse flushing while it's cleaning the boil kettle and grain bucket...

How does one use a 25 gallon boil kettle to create 10 gallons of high gravity wort ? Lots of boiling ?

Last weekend I did a 7 gallon 1.110 wort with my all in one which has an 8 gallon grain bucket and an 11 gallon boil kettle. I did it with a reiterative mash with 2 x 15lb mashes. All grain, no added sugars or DME. Standard 1 hour boil. ~70% efficiency. Would have been better but the second...

Yep ! That right there. A big main floor laundry room would be great to brew in.

That doesn't count finishing the room, wiring and plumbing the room and all the time spent building the rig. I can't believe some of the control panels I see these days. Is all that really necessary ? And the truth is, most of the all in ones make beer that is as good or better than the 3V...

Yeah. I just did my first one on the weekend and it works great. I couldn't believe it. I've read story after story of how hard it is to mash big gravity beers and yet with reiterative mashing, it is a piece of cake. And I don't need to have a big second mash tun to do it. All it takes is...

So here's the thing... realistically, how much beer are you (and your friends) going to drink in a year and how many times do you want to brew ? I like beer, but I limit myself to a single beer a day during the week. So that's 50 x 5 = 250 beer. And most weekends we'll drink less than a dozen...

Look into reiterative mashing. I just did 7 gallons of 1.100 with an 8 gallon grain basket.

I did the same thing. Look at my posting history. Had a brewery room all set aside in our old house. Ordered all the parts. Was actually going to heat it with steam. Started welding the frame. Then the all in ones came out and I started thinking how nice it would be to "just brew". To be...

Or space wise. They aren't small or portable. So you generally need a dedicated space for them. And if you want to run more than one vessel at a time, you need more power. And you'll need to put a sink in that space. It's not just the 3V system, it's what's needed to support it - a special...

And the pumps suck. And the grain basket is too small. And they aren't on wheels or the right height. Yes you can fix all those things but by the time you do that you might as well build one from scratch.
