Where's the best source for a 50 gal kettle

TxBrewHouse · Sep 16, 2012

I've been looking around for a kettle with at least 55 gallon capacity. Whether its a pot or ss drum it doesn't matter. Does anyone have any suggestions on places to check out or your experiences with any large brew kettles.

+1, Spent $800 total on a 75 gal Mash Tun and a 60 gal kettle (both 304SS with stands) at a local scrapyard

Dumb question...but what are you guys finding to use at the local scrap yards? Can you guys post pics?
Thanks.

May not be what you're looking for, but Blichmann makes a fantastic 55 gallon kettle. They have better false bottoms and better sight gauges then you'll otherwise be able to get.

I've also seen a fellow use a stainless steel 55 gallon drum.

If I were in the market for something like that, I would look at Stout:

They don't show a 55gal, but they do show 45gal and 75gal.
