Keggle vs 20 boiler?

[225]

How much of a difference is there between a Blichman Boilermaker kettle (20 Gal) compared to 15.5 gal kettles?

I am building a system that I want to last for years.

Is the Blichman worth the long term investment? I have more than a few 15.5 gallon kegs now. But just wondering if the big investment ($1200+) is worth it?

Thanks.

The difference is 4.5 gallons

but seriously, its all about your budget, if you've got the cash to spend, sure why not, you only live once.

On the other hand, sanke's are a great economical alternative that will certainly last many years.

Kegs are for the more diy-ers and blichmanns (or some other kettle manufacturers) are basically ready to go. There both stainless steel which will last forever as long as you take care of it. Both good options depending on budget and if you want a project or not.
