SS or Aluminum?

[Rhoobarb]

Yeah, like ... Ford vs Chevy...

There is only one answer to the Ford vs. Chevy debate - it's no debate at all: Harrison Ford is a much better actor than Chevy Chase.

My solution (just consider me the Jimmy Carter of ss vs aluminum. On second thought, don't):
- I bought a stainless kettle (7.5g, wish I had gotten one bigger or converted a keg). I use this for collecting/boiling wort.
- Turkey fryer has an aluminum pot that is essentially my HLT (I batch sparge, so heat loss over time isn't an issue).

So, I have a turkey fryer for heating stuff up in a hurry as well as operating outside, I utilize the pot that came with it for heating liquor, and I have a ss kettle for my wort so I remember my name when I'm 80 (optimistically...).

I've never worked with them! I'd still pick Ford if I had to work with one or the other.

Mmmmm.... Velveeta... Makes good queso dip. Just add a can of Rotel tomatoes and sliced jalapenos, maybe some chipotles, and you've got an excellent accompaniment to a homebrew!

Here is my 2 cents...

I have to say something that will probably get half the folks here cringing.... when I started brewing.... bout 15 years ago. I did not have much money at all and just bought a cheap brewpot that I thought would not last long. Really is just a cheap Kmart thing. I've brewed in it... cooked in it... shuffled it around in at least a half dozen places I have moved too and lived... It's still with me. I have no idea how much I paid for it but it could not have been anymore then 40 so it can't be anything but Alluminum. I dont know... I really did not think it would be with me for more then a few years if that. Perhaps they made them bettter then? Don't know... but it is still with me. My soups go in it... my pot roast goes in it... corn... and yes, my brews go in it. Whenever I need a real big (5 gal) pot, I grab it.

Ok, one last note. My brewpot is also about 15 years old...an aluminum pressure canner. This thing is heavy, solid, multi-metal bottom, nicely oxidized over the years and built like a tank. I also use it to sanitize my bottles (yes, I cook them all). This pot is so heavy duty you'd think it was solid steel. Works great until I need a new one. I would like one of those SS conical fermenters.
