Does anyone have any experience using these?
They are so much cheaper than the pots that NB, More Beer and Midwest sell.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
They are 20 gauge SS which is ~0.9mm thick as opposed to the 1.2mm thick megapots. That is a pretty sizable quality difference. That being said I am sure the Bayou would work just fine.
Side note: 11 gallons is too small for a full volume 10g boil IMHO.
Side side note: a have seen some very nice pots for excellent deals at outlet stores like Marshalls, etc.
I have that exact kettle and it works out great! It gets to a rolling boil nice and quick and even though it's been through ten brews now looks almost exactly like it did when I first got it. I think the quality is really nice and would buy it again in a second.
I too have a 62 qt Bayou Classic and I'd say it's just big enough to comfortably boil 10G batches considering boil-off, the immersion chiller and trub loss. I bought mine in December and most places I checked were out of stock. I ended up getting it from weliveoutside.com. When I ordered it they sold it without the steamer insert, but they only list it with the insert now.
wow up until now i had no idea that a brew kettle would be so expensive....my buddy "inherited" a keg that is no longer used and i'm thinking about doing a keggle conversion.
