So has luck has it i was gifted a 100 gallon kettle from a guy who knows a guy who was getting rid of it. Unfortunately I have no idea how to heat something this size. Its shielded on the bottom and he clearly used a burner. I have several large propane tanks available to use but I have no idea how powerful of a burner I would need to achieve a boil in an appropriate amount of time. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use and where to get it?

60 gallons is allot of beer to heat, cool, pitch, ferment and bottle/keg ...well that's something like 675 bottles ....or 6 corney kegs....yikes ..

Good luck . You will need a big burner 225k + btu

would 225k btu's be enough? or is it leaning more towards the plus side?

100 gallons are too much for me.
