Does anyone have experience with spike kettles?
How do you like it?
Do you do BIABI have a 15 gallon and a 20 gallon, I like the false bottom for the 15, and the fact that they sell hardware that does exactly what it should. I couldn’t find anything that was plug and play for my other 15 gallon kettle.
riveted handles often leak a bit... at least both the kettles I had with riveted handles did. but I agree with all your points.. different folks have different priorities though.. some homebrewing systems here are more a stainless work of art than others.. at the end of the day they both do the same thing for thier owners. I found my cheap bayou classic 16 gallon kettle works very well for me with the bayou false bottom that its designed to work with. others have not had the same opinion of it but I average 91% brewhouse efficiency with it so I beg to differ. at the end of the day it works as well as any other big soup kettle depending on how its utilized.what makes the difference between a "good" stainless pot and "bad" stainless pot is the real question.....the answer is pretty much nothing that will make a single bit of difference in the homebrew world
Welded or riveted handles....anyone lifting there pot filled with scalding wort...no....so thats out....whats the difference?..Thats the real question.
If its normal stainless that they all use I see no difference besides that shiny name on the side.
