It is very light and crisp, makes a wonderful hot weather beer that is very drinkable without putting you under the table and with more flavor than a light beer.

This one is gone, thank you all for the interest

the fittings are stacked for a ball valve and a thermometer or any configuration you would like.

The diameter is just under 18" it has two fittings that appear to be weldless?? They are integrated into the pot and came from the manufacturer installed. I am located near stockton and lodi

I have a 15 gallon polarware brew kettle that I have barely used since I have only done 2 10 gallon batches. I am asking 150 since it is in such great condition. Please PM if you are interested or need shipping costs. I would only ask the actual cost to ship to you. Thanks,

I really depends how much you drink and what types of beers you like, the heavier the beer the longer the what time. My extract brew time is around 3 hours from beginning to end with a 5 gallon 60 minute boil so i can do two brews in one day pretty easy. That being said when I started brewing...

I quickly learned to buy the equipment that I would want and would grow into... saved some major bucks that way even though it was a little more expensive up front. Some of my overspending included buying a 4 gallon kettle followed by a 7 gallon rather than just going to the 10 gallon. From your...

Don't be afraid to give the beer time in the bottle, there are some great you tube videos of a guy that opens a bottle everyday to show the progression over time and it is worth a watch for the new brewer.

For a wheat beer I would let it sit in the secondary for a week. The bottle side is a little harder I usually give at least 21 days but I open one bottle at first to check the carbonation before chilling the whole batch, if the sample is good to go I get the rest cooled down in the fridge a good...

I only have 6.5 gallon carboys and have never had to worry about the exra headspace, the big concern is making sure your siphon line is submerged at the bottom to not cause any splash or excess movement. As for the secondary helping to clear the beer, I have found that my wheat beers from...

PS I have not ever had a problem holding a kit for an extra week in fact I have 2 in my fridge now that are several weeks old :D

I keep the whole works in the fridge especially if my grain is already cracked, otherwise the rest is pretty stable in a cool place until you brew. I keep several ingredients on hand in case of emergencies and haven't run into any issues. Liquid extract has a timeline on it so you want to make...

I use my 15 gallon kettle on a camp chef stove and have no problem getting to a boil and then some. For my 10 gallon batches I still run them through my beer software to properly scale the amounts. I have found that just doubling does;t always get the same numbers as the volumes are bigger which...
