Thanks I'll keep an eye out. I've got one 20gal, 2 15 gal, an 8 gal, and a 5. Always looking to expand

Check out stouttanks.com. Though certainly not cheap they have options as large as you'd like to go.

Guys, reality check....a 1000 watt element to assist with 65 gallon batches is akin to throwing a deck chair off the titanic. Kettle losses alone for a kettle that size and surface area are likely greater than 1000w.

A hot rod and a 5500w element may help, but the OP stated he takes around 20 minutes to reach strike temp, seems speedy to me considering batch size.m

It all depends on the application you're looking for. I use a 1000w heater to heat 30 gallons overnight (8-10 hours plugged in). When I come out in the morning the water is sitting right around 170 degrees. Anything larger in my situation would be a waste or I'd need to have it connected to a thermostat or timer or potentially have it hooked up for 240v.

My suggestion wasn't that the element would help him get to a boil or quickly heat up water.
