Bayou Classic 36qt SS For Brewing

[WillPall]

I'm about to make the move to fully AG and stop with all this partial mash nonsense. I've already bought all the equipment I need, but have been holding off on getting a pot. I want a stainless one, from 36-42 quarts, but don't want to break my wallet. So how does this look?

Is 20 gauge a good thickness? I don't really know much about pots. And is the price good? Marked down from $99 to $75 seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Thats exactly the pot I just bought for $99. I have done 3 boils in it up to 28 qts with some room to spare and controlled the boil overs with the extra space without having to take it off the cooker. Seems like a good deal to me.

$99, ouch.

 

[Teaman]

Yeah I know. I could have gotten it cheaper but I don't want my LHBS to go away so I try to buy stuff from them usually.

Respect!

That's the pot I had. Converted it with weldless fittings. Worked great, until I decided I wanted to make 8 gallon batches.

I sold it to a guy here and plan on converting a sanke to a keggle some day...when my spending money category recovers from a recent round of purchases.

Thanks for the input. I'll probably end up getting one of these then. Woooo, all grain!!!

if you spend a little more, you can get the bayou 62qt for $120 then you won't have to worry if you ever want to do bigger batches.

Other than that, the bayou is a decent pot
