Hi everyone, I have a question that I am hoping you guys might be able to help me with. I just got into brewing beer and realized it is a bit hard to brew in an apartment. My stove doesn't get hot enough to boil 5 gallons of water so I have been exploring other options. I was unable to use a propane burner because of apt restrictions and safety handling instructions. So to my knowledge I am stuck getting an induction cooker. I have read a lot about induction cookers and found that I would need a really powerful one to get a good boil on 5 gallons of water. Anything above 1800 watts has a 220v or 240v plug and you obviously can't plug that into a standard outlet. I am looking at an induction cooker that is 3400 watts and 240v. I was wondering if there is an adapter out there that is relatively cheap that I could use to plug my induction plate into a standard outlet. I have a couple friends that went to school for EE and have told me this is possible. I am going to drop the induction cooker link that I am looking at as well as the converter that I am looking at and hopefully someone can tell me if it will work. Please note that I am not interested in utilizing my washer or dryer outlet.
