Still available. Make somewhat of a reasonable offer.

New never used 15G Spike Brewing kettle with 1 coupler. Bought new in 2015 for $200. Will sell for $175 or best reasonable offer. Local only, will not ship.

Can you post pics?

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted replies to this thread. I ended up going with the Spike 15 Gallon with just one port. Since it will be my boil kettle I opted for no thermo and will check my wort temps while cooling the old fashion way. Thanks again everybody!!

I know what you mean Bowtie. I did narrow my choices between Spike and SS. I'm 99% sure I'm going with Spike. With a dip tube from bargin fitting or brew hardware. Probably going with horizontal ports so I can brew smaller batches and still utilize the thermometer. Just worried about the thermo...

Nice set up reaver. Are those 90* hose barbs stainless. Where did you get them from?

Hey Bowtie nice write up!!

Hezagenius I'm thinking of getting the horizontal setup as well so I can do 5 gallon batches as well as 10g. Are there any drawbacks of having both ports that low? If you bought again would you buy horizontal again or would u go vertical? Thanks for all your help!!

Yeah Reaver. I've seen that option too with the elbow and hise barb for dip tube set up. So you use the top port for whirlpool?

Yeah I saw the different configurations on bargain fittings site. Did you ever try the other way with the 45? Or are you satisfied with the way in the pic?

Thanks Hezagenius!! That's exactly what I was wanting to know. I was wondering if you used an elbow. That a 1/2 in street elbiw right? Looks like I may be leaning towards the Spike Thanks again for your help!!

Hezagenius if you could post or PM a pic of the inside with the dip tube installed I'd appreciate that!! I would like to see how the dip tube sits in there. Thanks

Thanks Reaver!! Are you planning on using a dip tube in it? If so where did you get it from? The Spike seems to be a couple dollars cheaper than SS Brewtech.

Looking for feedback on Spike Brewing kettles and SS Brewtech kettles 15 gallon. I've narrowed my search down to these 2 brands and looking for input to help me come to a decision.
