Anybody want to see my STOUT 9 Gallon HLT & MLT Set-Up? I brew mostly sessions and do step and no-sparge. So this size is great for me.

I can do both RIMS and HERMS on a stove top with two pumps. Ones a wort pump the other is the hot liquor pump.

All TC with QDC for the water and 1/2 barbs for wort.

Without a doubt, their stuff is Stout!

I cleaned and passivated these last week. You can haul these around with confidence by the handle and the ball valve shank!

Nice setup!
Yep, I’m a BIG Stout Kettles fan too! [emoji482]
 
Also worth noting the kettle thickness on these are 1.2mm almost a 1/16th of inch verses gauge thickness sheet stock.

That means your going to get bigger TIG welds. It's less likely to burn through the wall when it's thicker.

Better close up of the welds on the MLT and HLT. Some look better than others but they look pretty solid and leak free.

Note these are so shiny that you have too look for the reflection, starting from what appears to be the middle of the weld. When its just the fillet were the rest or other half is the optical illusion.
