I'm going to be in the market for a good brew kettle soon to be able to do full boils with my extract brewing. I only plan on doing 5 gallon batches and have been looking at both the boilermaker as well as the polarware kettles. I plan on getting into all grain brewing a year or so from now and don't want to buy a product that I won't be using a year from now.
I really like the design of the boilermaker and am considering paying the steeper price for it because of the extra features it comes with standard. I really like the fact the boilermaker comes standard with a built in brew thermometer. My one concern is that I have heard people say that The 10 gallon kettle has it's temp probe set way too high for 5 gallon batches. Anyone encounter any problems with this?
The polarware pots also look tempting with their price tags as well, so I'm not sure where I should go from here. Are the polarwares pretty much just as adaptable as the boilermakers?
