Hello all,
I am in the market for a new boil kettle and can't decide on which of these kettles I want.
BrewBuilt ( http://www.morebeer.com/products/brewbuilt-brewing-kettle.html ), Ss Brewing Kettle ( http://www.ssbrewtech.com/collections/kettles/products/ss-brew-kettle-10-gallon ), Edelmetall Brut Kettle ( http://www.northernbrewer.com/edelmetall-bru-kettle ), Spike Brewing V3 ( http://spikebrewing.com/collections/v3-products/products/v3-10gal-pre-sale ), or a Keggle ( http://www.kegglebrewing.com/DIY-Basic-Keggle_p_11.html ).
I plan on using this kettle in a 3 vessel setup and also maybe a BIAB. I want a 10 gallon kettle in order to do full volume 5 gallon batches. I would also like to be able to smaller batches ( 3 gallons ). I would like at least 2 ports ( valve and temp gauge ) and preferably horizontal in order to to use for small batches. I am unsure if weldless or welded ports make any different. Obviously some are more visually appealing but features and bang for your buck matter more to me than looks.
I was wondering everyone's opinions about each kettle. Best thing and worst thing of each kettle. Personal experience? Any and all advice/information is welcome. Also, if there is another kettle you think I should look at let me know. I am hoping for this thread to help me decide on 1 kettle or at least narrow down the list.
Thanks for any help you provide.
