Made in USA Brew Kettle?

For me its more political. About to spend the next 2-3 weeks at home due to wife testing positive. I'm done sending my money to China for this. So it looks like I will need to look at smaller batch pro gear stuff.

You'll show them.

Best wishes for you wife. Agree that America need to reposition critical manufacturing operations to produce strategic goods here at home. And that starts, of course, with beer!

China may get paid a cut of your hard earned dollars, but unless you're buying direct from Alibaba, you're usually also supporting American companies like the online HBS retailers, Amazon, or specialty brands like Anvil (part of Blichmann). Unless the global supply chain drastically changes, we're in this together.

This being said, given a viable and competitive American option, I'll choose it.

I'm no fan of China from a political perspective, but they did not manufacture the virus or unleash it purposefully on the world. They did initially act irresponsibly and were in denial, causing a delay in aggressively responding and effectively communicating... but look within our own borders and you'll see the same phenomenon.

I am very sorry to hear of your situation and sincerely wish your family well. It's a genuinely scary time for all of us (even those still in denial!).

Literally had the same conversation with Spike this week. There just isnt anything on the homebrew market as good as the options they and SS Brewtech put out. For pro side 1bbl and bigger you can get American steel no problem. Long term I have a hunch we will see further de-globalization. Hopefully that provides us with better options. I ended up ordering a new 15gal from them. I would gladly pay a few hundred more for something as good made here.
