Just curious, what kind of features did you get on your 20 gallon setup (HERMS coil, sight glass, etc)? And if you don't mind me asking, what was (or will be) the shipping cost for getting these 3 kettles to you?
I'm looking to have the same size stout kettles for my future build, I can't wait to see what yours looks like. Good luck!
Well, I was kinda wanting to wait to divulge all that kinda information when I start the build thread but I will answer just those questions here.

And John, and I cannot say enough about what such a nice guy John is and how much help he has been with all of my questions and concerns, from ST&K stated to me that shipping if shipped UPS the day I asked would run about $237.
John is a very busy man and it is hard to catch him immediately but he does make every effort to reply to any and all inquiries but he has stated that he is now looking to hire someone to help in this as popularity has grown tremendously with this product. There is no question as to why after reading the many reviews from those who have received their ST&K products and posted their pic's as they are a very beautiful and versatile product which are guaranteed for many years of service.
And to think, I haven't even received mine as yet. Just goes to show how impressed I am thus far with the reviews as well as John after conversing with him via PM, Email, Social Media Networks, as well as a very enjoyable phone call.
Looks like I am going to be forced to start my build page even though I was wanting to hold off until I was more prepared to move forward and a good pace and not have lull's in reports of weeks and months. But as long as everyone can and will understand, I might as well go ahead and do so........ I will post a link here to the thread as soon as I get it going.....
