Hey all,
My wife has indicated that she's willing to buy me *any* kettle I want for Christmas ...I was thinking about a 15 gallon mega-pot from Northern Brewer but since she said "any" I'm now looking at the Blichmanns.
One important thing is being able to brew both 5 and 10 gallon batches in it. I was hoping the owner of a 15 gallon Blich could tell me if 5.5-6 gallons of wort in the kettle would reach the thermometer probe.
Also (and any Blichmann owner can answer this) how well built are these? I have a 10 gallon mega-pot and am thoroughly impressed with how tough it is. Thick walls, really thick bottom, tough as nails. What's the Blichmann like in that regard?
Thanks!
Nick
