I am purchasing a brew pot for all grain batches and i have a question I can get a 10 gallon pot that is 1.2mm thick for 170 or a 15 gallon pot for 180 that is 1mm thick, is the thickness of .2 mm difference should that be a factor in this decision I woul like the 15 gallon for 10 gallon boils in the future, any help from you veteran brewers would be much appreciated...thanx
 
Would it be fair to say that any SS pot from a reputable manufacturer would be fine?

I will say this, even from my limited experience thus far, if you think you need a 10 gallon pot then get the 15 gallon!
 
1 mm thickness is fine. The 55 gallon stainless barrels that my brother-in-law uses in his maple syrup business are only 1.5 mm, so 1.0 is plenty for a brew pot.
