I just got three 20 gallon Concords off ebay. They work great best bang for the buck!

Staples Update international 80 qt aluminum and lid is somewhere around $80-90 and free shipping.

Those concord kettles do look nice though.

Admitting that I am a complete newb, I thought I remembered that it wasn't a good idea to use an aluminum pot for brewing. Something about reactions with the metal, I can't remember exactly, it's been a while. Have you heard anything about that?

Aluminum is fine on the hot side, not so good on the cold side.

I have the Thunder Group 100 Quart Aluminum Stock Pot from Amazon (25 gallon). I do 15 gallon batches most often but did a 20 gallon batch once.

Works great!

Aluminum is fine for a brew kettle. You just need to passivate it before the first use. Boil some water in it for 30 minutes and it's ready for brewing.

Could you elaborate, please?

Essentially, just don't ferment in aluminum.

has anyone bought the concord and welded or use the weldless attachment for a spigot, or thermometer?

I just put together three concord 100qt kettles. I soldered in 10 of the brewhardware pull though fittings. They are solid kettles for the price.
