Large Induction Stockpot

[byronyasgur]

I'm finding it hard to locate a large stockpot that will work on induction - 30 litres or larger. The best I can locate around around the €120 including shipping and if I have to pay that much I might look at some other alternative like an induction disc or maybe a peco boiler. Does anyone know of one cheaper?

Bergland pots work fine on induction and are more reasonably priced. I have one.

that's great thanks - talked to angel brew - they're closed for christmas but I'm in no hurry anyway - the only thing is he said that officially he had understood that the're not officially rated for induction - but I think a lot of companies don't want to actually commit to saying they're induction ready - so does it definitely work on induction? - how long does it take to boil the pot for instance?

Haven't seen any noticeable differences between it and the official induction pots in terms of heating.
I use mine on a buffalo 3kW hob. Been induction brewing for several years without a problem.

SS Brewtech pots work with induction but are quite pricey.

What appeals to me about induction brewing is there is no elements in the wort to scorch or to get all gunked up. Heat is also gentle on the wort too. :-*aah gentle .

Can you get a metal plate that sits between the pot and the hob meaning any pot could be used?

[armedcor]

You can but it's apparently very inefficient compared to an induction ready pot.

[delzep]

Probably would. Take ages to cool down too. I got my induction pots from mybeerandwine by the way...dunno if they're still going

yes come to think of it they'd have to be - and less controllable too - that's the best thing about induction for me it's really controllable - also those metal plates are not exactly cheap, and I suppose it's another thing that you might have to clean; and store too

thanks - yea I really like it tbh - how big do you go - on the facebook page someone was wondering how much weight those glass hobs can take

[imark]

I've had a 70L pot in it. The frame on the buffalo is stainless steel and flush with the glass. So I think it can bear a larger load than you need to worry about.
I think you need insulation around the pot if you go beyond 3kW/40L for a good boil. It's perfectly capable of doing a good boil on 35L un-insulated (and lid off obviously).
Doddle to clean also.

I bought this a few months back to work with an induction hob. Haven't had any issues.
