      A different take on electric BIAB using an induction cooktop. I saw a few of these type setups here and thought I would share mine. The cooktop is an 1800 watt Vollrath Mirage Cadet with a 5.5G 20.8L induction ready kettle.
      
      The bag is Swiss voile custom made by a vendor here in the USA. I also wanted to say thank you to biabrewer.info and the members here contributing the knowledge. Couldn't have done it without you! :thumbs:
      
      First brew on the new induction system went well. I tested the...

      Looks a lot like what I have going. Bought a induction burner and did my last brew on it. I'm doing full volume 3 gallon batches and have a much larger pot wrapped with that reflectex material.. However, I'm only use it to get up to mash temp and maintain it there for my 90 minutes. After the mash is over, I put the pot on an outdoor burner and boil for the 90 minutes. It's much quicker to get the temp up to boiling than on the Ind Burner.

      I am getting one of these Bayou Classic 44qt 11 gal steamer kettles with the basket and a spigot for a BIAB setup.
      
      I would like to add a sight glass and a better spigot to the existing weld like this:
      
      I don't foresee any problems with this but wanted to bounce the idea around here to see what you other BIAB brewers thought? My goal is to not drill any more holes since it already has a welded fitting.
      
      Wayne at Bargain Fittings (USA) mentioned that with this configuration the wort in the...

      Short on time Sammy but just wanted to say your posts are great! Lots of detail and pics!!!
      
      I also just wanted to make sure you are aware of the potential problems that any join or ball-valve in a brewery can create. If you do an advanced search here and use the keyword, 'nostril' and then my name as the author, you should get a few longer posts on how to avoid any infection problems that can pop up with ball-valves.
      
      Thanks for the great read Sammy :salute:
