"I just got the best birthday gift ever,,,,,,,,,,,A PS II with the 8 gallon induction kettle. I have been beer brewing and wine making for over 15 years now.
What advice do you have on where to start? What should I read, how should I learn to use this ""gift"". Also, does anybody on here use an induction heater? If so what brand? I have one that is a duxtop 1800 W, but have no idea if it will work or get crushed.
Thanks in advance,
makeet"

I hope we can ""SHOW YOU"" WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW LOL I'll need all the help I can get. Is there a youtube video or anything showing a run on the PS II? I have one book now, just ordered three more on Amazon, should get them tomorrow or Saturday. And no, I'm going to try to put it together this weekend. What should I run though it for a cleaning run?"

Hey makeet,
Welcome to the forum. With 15 years in beer and wine making I'm sure you will soon become one of our fermentation experts. For overall distilation JB put me on to a great book and I highly recommend it. it is "The Complete Disiller". from what I've read so far to avoid crushing your induction heater just build up the area around it. Some I have seen use concrete pavers. Good luck, read evrything you can, and ask all the questions you can.

Hi Makeet, I use 1 gal water with 1 gal white vinegar. But then I use propane heat, so mix up what you need to keep your elements covered after collecting about about half of what you use.
