Pros: very awesome kettle. Set up for brewing beer, nothing else to mod. It's perfect for 10 gal batches. Super high quality should last a lifetime
Cons: may need to take out a 2nd mortgage to buy one as with most Blichmann gear, but the quality is there. Warning: Will make you want to upgrade the rest of your crappy brew setup to match it's bling-ness
Recommended? Yes

Comments: just an awesome piece of brew hardware. Designed from the ground up for brewing. I love it. It has made me brew more often to justify the expense, lol. No really though I brew more because I love using it. Pair it with the Blichmann burner and it's an amazing setup. If you're looking towards years and years of brewing and hundreds of batches of beer, it's worth it to get the good stuff on the front end. If you brew 4 times a year or even less, do extracts and such, probably not as justifiable

Pros: awesome, all stainless
Cons: it wasn't free
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I got the 15gal boilermaker as a gift and love it. I wish I had a house so I could build a brew sculpture in the garage and get a pair of 20 gal ones to make a complete all grain system.

Price: $329.00
Pros: Heavy Duty Stainless, graduated sight glass works great, thermometer is adjustable so it's easy to read
Cons: Sight glass needs to be cleaned, siphon tube leaves a little more wort in the boil kettle then it should
Recommended? Yes

Comments: People are very opinionated when it comes to their gear. I read a lot and it seem's like Blichmann can easily be trusted for high quality gear and you can expect to pay for that quality from them. I was considering making a keggle but had a hard time finding a "legal" keg to start from and once I started doing the math for all the parts to put one together it just didn't make sense. I am extremely happy with my Blichmann Boilermaker.

Blilchmann Boilermakers 15G Brew Kettle
Pros: Very Sturdy Construction, Excellent Quality Components, Great Aesthetics
Cons: Expensive
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I have been through ~11 10gallon batches with my Blichmann 15gallon BoilerMaker. All have been partial mash. I find the volume of the pot to be perfect for my 10 gallon batch size. The graduated sight glass is fantastic and makes volume measurments ultra simple.. The weldless fittings are nice and easy to remove when a thorough cleaning eventually becomes necessary.
