I have looked long and hard for a good buy or a heavy bottom 30 Qt brew pot to do 5 gallon boils. Northern had a 32 Qt "Mega Pot" for $89.95 and I thought - yeah, right. Specs looked good though and I called Northern and they said it was comparable to Polar and I could return it if I was dissatisfied. Ok, I bit.
Was I supprised. It was every bit as good as a Polar as far as I could tell. The thing came in a big box by UPS and the first thing when I picked it up, I thought they had put bricks in there to weight the thing down - it was heavy.
Installed my valve, put 5 gallons of cold water in, cranked up my turkey fryer and got a good rolling boil in 20 min. Added a half cup of baking soda and boiled it 20 min. Drained that and put in B-Brite to soak. Here it is after the final rinse is going out my valve.
