Keep looking for the right deal. Were those on CraigsList?Thanks for the advice fellas. Apparently they were a hot commodity and sold within 3 hrs of being up. Reason I was looking for it is I’m running a tight budget and actually brewing witha borrowed turkey fryer from my church. I guess I’ll be sticking to it for another little while. If this thread should be closed feel free if a mod sees this.
I wouldn't boil in a copper vessel. Copper contributes to what are called Fenton Reactions, which create staling compounds in the wort and eventually the beer.
I've seen this, and I do believe it, but it leads to a question: All those pictures of commercial beautiful shiny copper kettles, especially in Germany, but also Anchor Steam and others. Do they line them with something to prevent the Fenton reactions? Or is it a volume thing? Or are they doing something else to prevent problems?I wouldn't boil in a copper vessel.
