High End Brew Pots - Brewbuilder.

Has anyone purchased one of these to use with an induction hob? I'm thinking of upgrading to a 50l one.

If anyone has any comments, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

not purchased but follow with interest and want to know the answer...

with the few recent posts on the induction hob I am considering a high end brew pot plus induction hob as a base for a first "serious" AG setup.

I got the 33L one and used it on my kitchen Induction hob. Mind you it was only for 6L of water (my first brew) but it seemed to work well. Reached a boil pretty quickly and was easily held at a rolling boil. It looks a VERY sturdy pan to me. Cleaned easily too with no burnt on crud after the brew.

Cheers. Looked at them again online and they look exactly the same as the SS technology ones. Mr Lard told me he is getting pots with internal markings in around 4 weeks

That would be handy! I had to measure the amount of water while adding it.

I was reading this article the other day, on etching your own kettle. Looks interesting - I'd give it a try if I didn't already have markings.

Those pots do look good, but I think they are a little wider than the equivalent SS pots. Probably not an issue, in practice (and I don't think they are much wider).

I have used that method, and can vouch for it. Measure very carefully though and make sure stencils are well stuck down!

My setup is a professional 3.5kW Hendi Induction plate and an induction capable Contacto pot with Armaflex insulation. Never felt the need for internal markings, but it's nice to work with stock gastronomical hardware.

Plates are about 140.- each. They are powerful enough to bring a 70l pot of wort to a rolling boil with a resulting hourly evaporation rate of 13%.

All available on eBay.

Damn. I was planning to pull the trigger on buying one next week, I'll have to decide now whether to wait or not. It would be useful when calibrating my evaporation etc to begin with.

Hmmmm.

For anyone dubious about etching their precious pot accurately, another idea may be to do it on a separate dip-stick instead. A hacksaw marked lines on the copper stick I already used to stir, which was quite convenient; etching numbers would have been even better.

Before I had a marked pot I just used a stainless steel ruler and previously wrote down the measurements on the ruler for the litre amounts. Not quite as convenient but you do get a nice accurate "dip stick" for minimal effort, and you soon learn what measurements correspond to what volume.

With my buffalo I weigh the water going in, and use a ruler and spreadsheet for the amount of liquor going in the mash tun

Has anyone ever thought about a digital water meter that connects into pipes? You can get them from Gardena. Resettable, but not sure what temp they can be used at. If accurate, seems like a good idea to me...

I've seen people using flow meters on keg lines, so can't see why it wouldn't be possible.

Also I _think_ i've heard of some people just using scales, and tareing them and then weighing the water.
