What size pot will you be brewing with the hob?
It looks such a nice and simple set up.

I just bought one as well, paid a bit more but was delivered and serviced. I have a cheap brupaks pot, 30l but has no tap so been looking at the SS 56l pot. Only heated some water up on it so far but was extremely fast. Almost double the power of my ace boiler.

I was told in a homebrew shop that I would really struggle with a 30l pot on an induction. so went for a 5.5kw gas which is good but a bit of a pain in the ass with storage and gas running out at 10 mins

looking at this and have had an email back off them to say its fine with an induction hob and its 35CM Dia so should be good on the ceramic plate that measures 33 by 43
next up im gonna get me either a ss bucket or an SS Colander for doing the mash,dont think im gonna go with a bag

well there are videos on you tube with them coping ok with a 5 gallon one and I think its crucial you don't have too much pot overhang on the ceramic plateI was told in a homebrew shop that I would really struggle with a 30l pot on an induction. so went for a 5.5kw gas which is good but a bit of a pain in the ass with storage and gas running out at 10 mins

Probably because the guy sold stoves and not induction hobs.
He also told me that BIAB is rubbish and I should buy his ã350 all grain starter kit.
I didn't buy anything from his shop and will not go back...

Mine is a 3kw CR08. I have read threads where the guy was boiling 50l using one of these. Was to the max but still worked.
Funny enough my pot would barely work on my kitchen hob but is fine on the Buffalo. The Malt Miller pot looks like it has good handles which mine does not have. Handy to have a spare pot though for when i do no chill.

thanks beercat,it seems that the ceramic glass is standard size then across all the buffalo single hobs and have no problem with a rolling boil of 27 litres:thumb:
It's all good so long as the pot is induction friendly, some info and a video when I got mine in case it helps:
