I'm thinking of stepping up from extract kits to BIAB so I've been looking at SS brew kettles. My question is about the thickness of the steel.
I found a used (1 year) 40qt. on CL, and it's 1.2mm on the sides and 5mm on the bottom. Seller wants $160 for it. It has weld-less fittings.
I found a new one online with welded fittings, but it's 1mm wall/bottom thickness. It's $150 including shipping.
Which one would be the better deal? Does the thickness make that much of a difference?
