Make bigger beer
By Paula Baker
This is by Geoff (not Paula)I love this thing.It is so nice to get away from the thin walled turkey fryer style pots.Heavy walls, great valve and clear thermometer.I am using this with a Bayou Classic SP10 High-Pressure Outdoor Gas Cooker.The handles get hot from the cooker so have pot holders ready if you need to move it.unless you already own some, buy some larger channel locks to put the thermometer and ball valve on.Even with Teflon tape I get a bit of leaking around my ball valve, just had to REALLY torque down on it to tighten it.This only happened at high heat.Made a great batch of all grain.

A big improvement...
By Mim and Don
I made the jump from a thin walled 5 gallon pot to this beefy 8, and have now brewed six batches of all grain. This is a big improvement. The temperature control and accuracy is very good. The valve is not only useful but is also a great safety improvement (boiling liquids...). And the size is essential for all grain brewing of a 5+ gallon fermentation wort. The quality of construction is excellent, with the mass being very temp stabilizing and the handles being very well constructed. I did buy the false bottom but have not yet used it. Instead I made a cooler tun with a stainless mesh manifold - took about three hours, not difficult. The combination of the two is very helpful. Remember, this is a heavy pot when filled with 7 gallons on top of its original weight. It takes a while to boil on a high quality kitchen stove. And it is not cheap - but is high quality and value.

By Busy Executive
My son is a home-brewer, and he recently graduated from using everyday kitchen equipment to having some dedicated equipment for brewing.The kettle is large and heavy gauge steel, with cutouts for the valve and thermometer. The top fits tightly, and overall, it's easy to clean and use. The thermometer seems highly accurate, although it was a bit challenging to assemble it tightly enough to prevent leaks. Same for the valve unit. My solution was to wrap both in an extra layer of Teflon tape, and then to tighten using a pair of large wrenches. Took a few tries, but eventually we managed to get a leak-proof seal.Compared to many of the other dedicated brew kettles, this one also seems like quite a bargain.Recommended.
