I want new kettles. I currently use 3 Keggles that I have grown to dislike as I have used them more. They were poorly welded when I inherited them is the primary reason, but I also don't care for their weight, and heat retention when cooling.
As I have researched new kettles I am surprised at how little scientific performance comparisons there are between competing kettles. Almost all brewing specific kettles are just using marketing terms like biggest baddest best to describe their performance.
I see value in service, quality and function. Also in not having to diy stuff, so I can see charging more for those things but how much more? Im not sure.
What is the real difference in the final product produced from a Stout // Blichmann // Spike // Megapot // Bayou Classic // Polarware (etc) kettle? Is there one? I can't say that I have ever seen an answer or claim from one of these companies saying why their pot makes better beer.
What say ye?
