I use this drain cleaner from Harbor Freight to clean my carboys. Hook it up to a hose and the nozzle on the front spins shooting water out sideways. I still hit the shoulders of the carboy with a brush, but this does a decent job and it's only $6...

I should probably read closer next time.

The measurements are on the first page of this thread. 17.5 wide, 17.5 high. Works out to 18.2 gallons. So ~18.

I just brewed my first batch with the 80 quart pot. I had 12 gallons in it and prior to boil decided to test the handles. All went well. It was a brew day full of complications, but the kettle performed well.

I guess you could drill the handles and put some stainless rivets in there. But then that might lead to the idea of picking the thing up with boiling liquid in it. I did some pushups on mine too, and I weigh 250. I am just glad I can contribute to the empirical analysis of these handles.

I drilled the pot and put a weldless valve on this week. Had a little trouble with the HF bits that I used. I am going to brew a batch either tomorrow or Monday. Sorry to hear people are getting backorders. My pot shipped quickly.

I have not filled it yet. My goal was to be able to do 10 gallon batches, maybe 15, but we will see. For my inargural batch I am going to brew a 10 gallon IPA, put 5 gallons into the fermenter, then start the boil again and add LME and hops to make a DIPA. If anyone knows why this might be...

I just measured the thickness 6 times and averaged them. This is approximate, but I get 0.75 mm, which puts it in between 22 and 23 gauge steel. I will be able to get a better measurement when I drill the side for the valve next week.

The pot is diameter is 17.5" and 17.5" high. Looks like it is closer to 18 gallons. Still works for me. George

I just got one of these. Total with shipping to NJ was about $74. Took 4 days to get here. Pretty nice. Going to drill it and put a valve on next week. I don't work for or with the company that sells them...
