Greetings all,
A new guy here but no stranger to fermented libations. Here's hoping I haven't overlooked the answer to my question. It seems this forum is teeming with experts and experienced users of induction cook tops for our intended purpose.
I'm considering a 3500 watt induction cook top for my brewing and wondering about the ability to hold a given temperature for things like starch conversion. I'll be working up to about 8 or 9 gallons at a time, if that makes a difference. Weight capacity is some concern. I will be running a dedicated circuit if I go this route.
The Avantco IC3500 seems to be a very popular model. This unit, and the majority I've been able to research, allow temp control in 10 degree increments. 5 degree units are few and far between. I'm pretty certain that the set temp on the unit wouldn't be totally accurate but as long as I have the ability to make small changes I can zero in on a target temp. Lots of things in cooking require accurate temp control.
So, the question - can I hold, say 155F with the Avantco IC3500?
If not, can someone recommend a more suitable unit?
Thank you!
