Where can I find a good stainless steel brew pot?
|
|
New to forum here. Plenty of info to be found here. I'm looking to find a 32 Quart Stainless Steel Pot and just cant seem to find them anywhere for less than $80. Used would be fine too.
Anybody know anywhere to get one for a reasonable price?
Jeff

You can find one here for less than $80, but I would reccomend aluminum or converting a keg if you want to get cheaper.
SS is $$
Aluminum works great and is easy to care for.

If you aren't afraid of aluminum they have them for about $45. Or keep your eyes out for a used keg.

32 quarts is almost the bare minimum for full boils on 5 gallon batches. I would try to get a 40qt pot.

Austin Homebrew has 10 gal. SS pots for around $70. It's kinda thin, but mine has held up really well, and no scorching.

Anyone know what thickness the AHS pot is?
I've been temped to buy this one. Has aluminum cored bottom and 21 gauge material for $90 including S/H. This thing is 16 5/8" diameter and 12" high. Plenty for adding the 14" LD heating element for a nice E-kettle project I'm getting into.

thanks for the info. I'll get a 40 qt pot, but finding one is tough. I'm going to peruse salvation army and other salvaged goods stores in hopes of a cheap buy. I dont want aluminum.
In regards to stainless steel thickness, one should know that an 18 gauge stockpot is almost double the thickness of a 23. With that being said, a 21 gauge is probably almost too thin.

32 quarts isn't terrible. I have one, and I have never had a boil over in it. However, it is also pretty short and wide, so perhaps that helps?
If you find a great deal on a 32 quart I wouldn't pass it up.
