I'm seriously considering this method, and looking for the best 240V option for doing standard 5 gallon batches with my BrewBuilt 10 gallon kettle. Would you still recommend this Avantco 9 months later? Thanks!
Certainly. It has held up very well. Even with a huge boil over I had on an upcoming brew video being edited. I was too frustrated with needing to do cleanup I didn't at least quick film or video it. I had to completely move the freezer that the burner is on and the stack of wood pellets to clean the mess. I am very glad I got this burner than trying to stick with the stove. I already had the pot and didn't want to cut a hole in it for an element. This will definitely do great for 5 gallon batches. I do need to try a mash test using the temp setting on the burner than the power setting.
@@2bebrewing Thank you! Planning on 4 to 5 gallon batches (4 when pressure fermenting in corny kegs, 5 when using regular-sized fermenters), so this should easily do the trick.
Definitely. I certainly think you will enjoy your brew day so much more with a stronger burner than a stove, and more accurate/direct heating than propane.
How much you looking to spend? Do you want to have fittings on your pot? I know a standard canning pot does work. For sure the name brand brewing pots work as well, Spike, Blichmann, Anvil, Delta etc, but they can run a pretty penny. The small stainless 5 gallon pot was from Walmart. My 8 gallon pot was a gift, I think it was from Austin Homebrew.
No, as this takes 30 amps and that would blow your breaker and possibly start a fire. At best the standard household outlets are 20 amps. There is a 1800watt version which is for standard outlets. www.webstaurantstore.com/avantco-ic1800p-countertop-induction-range-cooker-with-probe-120v-1800w/177IC1800P.html
I like your nickname for the outlet: "Mr. Winky-face"! I think that should be the official name instead of "NEMA 6-20p". I liked your on-screen unit conversions and pictures. I liked the table setup. No complaints from me this time. F U L L S P E E D A H E A D .... to the next video!
Thanks for the review. For dummies: can it be plugged into regular outlet or extension cord please?
No, you need a dedicated 220/240 volt outlet and a NEMA 6-20 outlet.

Nice Review VRA family 👍👍

Appreciate it!
The pots I have aren’t compatible with this, is there any you can recommend?

My 15 gallon kettle, is a Bayou Classic Brew Kettle. I got that from overstock.com.
Is there adapter which we can buy so we can plug this in regular household plug

I cant tell why this one is $60 more than the other ones.
Where are you looking and what ones are you comparing?
