How much for the 100 quart? Stainless?

That looks great! How hard was it to clean them up? What modifications did you have to make? :tank:

thanks guys... im still on the prowl!!!

Was wondering if any of you guys have any ideas. We are looking for large (40+ gallon) brew kettles. Any ideas would be appreciated.
