Has anybody bought one of these?
Good enough for use as a boiler?
http://www.mybeerandwine.ie/brew-kettles/190-economy-30-litre-mash-tun.html
I got two of these a couple of weeks ago. Insulated them with the behind the radiator stuff and used one as a mash tun and one as a boiler and they both worked really well with an induction hob
Great stuff delzep, thanks for that!
iv been looking at these , as the pot suits my budget, what type of induction hob do you use delzep? i have a lidl induction hob but i think the pot may be a bit big?
Got it from nisbets. Imark uses the same one and he recommended it to me
i already have the lidl one , single ring style .but im sure it should work
The one I have is 3kW. You'd need at least 2.5kW I'd say or else you'd be all day waiting to get up to temperature
i have a bucket boiler , but the tempation of a nice pot for €44 is hard to resist

Im not sure that one is induction ready.
I bought this induction hob from the UK for about 170 delivered, the Nisbets one is 227 delivered at the minute.

Shit I didn't realise these induction hobs were so expensive. My kitchen Ikea one was €200 but the most powerful ring is only 2100w. Wonder can I straddle a couple of them :)

That one looks the same as nisbets buffalo brand one. Earlier buffalo ones had an issue with cutting out. I returned mine to nisbets after 6 months for a replacement. No more problems since. They were great to deal with.

Do you have 4 induction heads on your hob and if so can all 4 be on at the same time.

I've just picked up a second hand buffalo one from eBay. Hoping it doesn't have these problems. It looks pretty new though.

Yeah it's this one (http://m.ikea.com/ie/en/catalog/products/art/50291619/)
I know you can straddle them but do you know how much power is going into the pot if it's only covering part of each head. Does it get the full power of each head or is it relative to the surface area used?
My new pot arrived today so I'll give it a shot this weekend.
I think it's relative to the coverage so don't expect full power.
Sorry if I'm missing something about the mybeerandwine site but they don't seem to have any encryption in operation. How can I use a credit card safely on this site. I'd love to buy one of these pots too but feel too nervous about using credit card.
Just as a heads up, I got a stainless steel ruler online (600mm) to use as a measuring stick. Due to the dimensions of the boiler, its very easy to measure the volume using this ruler....100mm depth of water = 10 litres of water...150mm depth of water = 15 litres of water.....basically every 10mm is an extra litre. Dead handy
Its for the boiler in the OP by the way

Thanks for the tip, picked one up in Woodies today and it works a treat.
Hey, I was just wondering about the boiler the OP posted:
http://www.mybeerandwine.ie/brew-kettles/190-economy-30-litre-mash-tun.html
Does anyone know the dimensions of the unit? Diameter and height. Sorry to resurrect and old thread but I'm interested in this unit but I have space constraints and I'm looking into getting a false bottom for it also.
Thanks in advance,
Sim
D: 36cm
H: 34cm
I got one a while back and have done about 5 or 6 brews in it since. It's working out nicely. Good at the price!
I thought that company has gone?
Thanks for the speedy reply! It will fit nicely I think.
Hopefully the company is still going, I might call them to double check. I think the homebrewcompany.ie sell the same one but for another 125e. Cheers!
A full members discount will help bring the two prices closer. ;)
With free delivery above 150 in addition to the discount I'd get with a full members discount, I think I'll go with the Homebrew Company. One more question just to wreck peoples heads.
Using this mash tun and this kind of false bottom:

https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/false-bottom-ss-225cm-diameter-p-1481.html
what kind of fittings do I need to get to connect the false bottom to the tap? And what size tubing do I need also?
I appreciate the help!
Sim
you'd need this for inside the kettle https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/12-npt-male-x-38-barb-straight-hose-fitting-p-2579.html
and then some 3/8 silicone tubing to connect the 2.
