100$ 15 gal kettle brew pot - would you buy that?

[magrusty]

Found 104.99$ 15 gal brew pots - kettle on OntarioBeerKeg.

I just can't find better price any where on the Internet.

http://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=15-GALLON-2WELD

They say: "Stainless steel 18 Gauge pot. Capacity of 15 gallon (56.7 Liters). Vertical alignment 1/2 female couplings welded in. These pots are ready to attach any accessories with 1/2 fittings you can dream of."

Would you buy that any one?

As long as shipping didn't kill it. Looks like a nice deal

OntarioBeerKegs is the best Canadian homebrew shop I've dealt with. Their prices are always on par (sometimes cheaper) than the big US stores. I can't comment on that pot specifically, but everything else I've bought from them has been great.

About 15$ for a 2 days express delivery.

Thanks for your post. I'm still a little worried about the fact it's chinese. And I now hesitate between 2 or 3 pieces Ss ball valve to add to my order. I presume 3 pieces is better?

while more expensive, you can take the entire ball valve apart on a 3 piece for cleaning. That said, I've done it twice in two and a half years on my 3 pieces, and have not found any build up at all. If the difference in price is large, I'd go with the 2 piece and save the $$.

I believe this post is for the same/similar pot they sell. Might find some reviews there from some Toronto brewers. http://areyouansob.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1350

Also, 2 vs 3 pc ball valves, I just prefer the 2 pc to save on money.

Too Bad it doesn't ship to the U.S.

Better late than never but I have one of the OntarioBeerKeg 15G 2 hole pots and I love it. Great product for a great price.

Any idea anyone if I want to add an electric element to heat water in this kettle?

 

[magrusty]

Maybe this kind of electric element would do the work, but I don't need the turkey fryer that comes with it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JQ3KQ4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

This looks exactly like the economy kettle that Morebeer sales. I have one and it works great.
