Price: $50.00
Pros: inexpensive, plenty of cheap accessories. Tough.
Cons: Large thermal mass for 5 gal batches. Heavy.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Its a small DIY project, but well worth it for a kettle that will get you to 10gal full boils. I got mine of craigslist for $40, and with a bulkhead from an online retailer, its a great first big kettle.

Price: $40.00
Pros: Large capacity
Cons: Heavy, requires cleaning and modification
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Brewing in an old Keg is a very practical way to move up to 10 gallon batch sizes. I would not recommend using it as a mash tun, too much thermal mass.

Cons: it was $100 and didnt have any beer in it

Pros: Boil 12 G batches all at once instead of having to do two different 6 G boils.
Cons: Really loud cutting the top off, sorry dogs and neighbors. Thankful for ear plugs.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Simple project, used a saws-all with a short metal cutting bit after first drilling a hole so that I could catch the curve of the cut-line. Installed a weld-less valve on the base of it. After first two weekends of brewing batches, shaved considerable amount of time off brew day. Perhaps I'll start planning for three batches every weekend.

Price: $0.01

Comments: found a guy who sold me two kegs for $45. luckily, i'm a metal fabricator. so i made some couplings & fittings on the lathe and welded them in. cut the top and had it cleaned up in about 30 minutes. have a built in copper coil made out of 20ft of 1/2" copper line. 60rpm motor sits on top and stirs the wort with a homemade stainless paddle while a submersible pump runs cold! water thru the cooler. cools 10 gallons in 20 minutes

Pros: Large kettle conversion to help with the fact of no boil overs.
Cons: Takes longer to heat on outdoor burner, and lost about quarter gallon at the bottom.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: This keg converted to a kettle was a great idea from the home brew store. We have had great success with the kettle with no boil overs but at the same time lose a bit of wort after transferring to the fermenting bucket. Overall a great product and worth the money spent as I move from kits to all grain brewing.

Price: $30.00
Pros: perfect
Cons: fugly, yet beautiful
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Post an ad on craigslist... can usually get one for $30. Post another ad for welding help... usually $20 per weld. Buy $4 coupler. Brewpot! Yay!
