cool thanks. I ordered last night, but they say to call them to pay, so I'll double check. Maybe they do have both.
^^ thats exactly what i thought...especially the false bottom...doesn't seem too efficient in comparison to the standard mesh...
Not everyone. But I haven't tried everything out there so I certainly can't say what's best.I have 3 keggles and IMO they are the best. I gaurantee, though, that anyone who spend the clams on a shiny blichmann pot will differ.
Agree 100%. The Boilermaker thermometer placement is dogschit. I basically do not use it. Since I recirc my thermocouple placement is in the stream and that's calibrated and works perfectly.
Ah, I drive a Toyota truck. I just want it to work simply and efficiently.They could offset it to the side but then it would look odd and he might sell less pots to the BMW owner crowd.

yeah...
My mind is pretty much set on the keggles...anyways, this will be my first AG rig, thus leaving much room for improvement
do any suggest a false bottom for the kettle? Will this be of any use if I tend to brew with pellets most of the time??
^^ good point on the 5gal!!
how much are jaybird's false bottoms?
--> me likes the spider thing!!!!
Add Blichmann's asking cost $$$$$$$ also into this project.I just thought I would throw my 2 cents in. I have Keggles with welded in couplers. If I were to do over again and money was not a problem, I would go with a MegaPot. They are built like a brick chithouse, have copper sandwiched bottoms to spread out the heat and welded in couplers. I don't like the Blichmann's because they are all stainless steel and use weldless fittings and kettles are sometimes a pain in the ass.
Are 15gal pots risky for 10gal recipes?????
just not feeling the direct contact between wort and element...
what are your thoughts on an electric BK?

^^^ does make more sense...is there anyway to get this done without access to 220V?
hmmm...this seems to be getting much more complicated that I had thought...which only makes things more interesting! I'll check my folk's place see if i'd have access to 240V (no room in my apartment...) and I'll go from then on. If not I'll leave it to the hybrid option...
wow, thanks for the heads up!
in terms that i could understand, what would be the difference between the box and without the box?!?!
The problem is you arent really going to boil on 120VAC
FWIW, 10 gallons boils pretty well for me on 120VAC, 2 elements @ 2000w on two separate 120VAC circuits.
Agreed, w/ 240 you are not as limited, but I have plenty of 120 available.
alright, then a box for me it is! So say I decide to go half E half propane, I want to emphasis the control on the HLT and MLT (obviously) using 120V, what I am expecting in terms of equipement (elements, controls, etc...)
thanks for the help guys...seriously!
hmmm...wouldn't be more of a herms and not a rims...say elements in the HLT with a copper coil for mash recirc and use a burner for the bk?
