Hello. I recently decided to upgrade my brew kettle. I ordered the 10 gallon megapot from Austin Homebrew on Sunday, and asked them to drill the two holes for a ball valve and a thermometer (I got the weldless kits for Xmas). The price wasn't bad, around $145.
I really want to brew my first AG batch this weekend, so I religiously checked the site yesterday to see if it had shipped, nothing. Today, I decided to call, and was told by a rather unfriendly operator that the manufacturer hadn't told them the pots were backordered, and it would be two weeks.
So I know they can't control manufacturers, but what about the fact that the website didn't tell me they were out of stock? How about a phone call yesterday to let me know.
Long story short, I'm not happy. Canceled the order. I am just wondering where you guys think I should get a kettle now. I want 10 gallons, I would rather not drill the holes myself, but can, and I don't want to spend over $200 bucks. Any help is appreciated.
