I have mixed feelings on this, while the kettle looks fantastic and I love the manway, tangential style bottom drain and fully welded triclamps, i question the practicality on this scale as well as how much $$$$ its going to cost.. I'm brewing 20 gallon batches in 30 gallon kettles and i feel like im right on the edge of a manway being useful to grain out.. really for the majority of my batches scooping the 40-50 lbs of grain out takes no time at all and is very painless. For 20 gallon kettles I cant imagine this is worth what it will cost.. however for 50 gallon kettles I would be all over it. If I didnt already have spike v3 30 gallon kettles I would strongly consider these depending on the price.. staying tuned for pricing and other kettles features..
