Anyone know if a turkey fryer kit works well for brewing? If so what are the pots generally made of?
My only gripe is that it's aluminum. I have used a turkey fryer for the past 5-6 years on extract and all grain and it's showing it's age and getting it really clean is a PITA. Once I get my keggles up and running I will donate my turkey fryer pot and burner to someone just starting to brew
If I use an aluminum pot are there any steps I need to take prior to my first brew.
i got the burner + aluminum pot deal from Wally World, $50
30 quart and 15" tall. hey! 2qts per inch! I use an aluminum yardstick to measure volumes
need to oxidize the pot by filling it with water and boiling it for an hour. measure start and ending volumes = boil-off rate
That's what I used for my first two years. My only issue with it wasn't even the aluminum pot, but the timer on the burner. That thing gets annoying real quick.
I just turned the timer on then duct taped it haven't been bothered since.
I can just squeeze mine on our flat top stove with a microwave/hood above it. Most I have gotten up to temp is 3-3.5 gallons and that was to strike or sparge temps, never tried a full boil and doubt it could do itWill a 30 qt pot be OK to use on my electric stove top

I found this one the other day, is there anything I should be looking for in a burner/brew pot rig? Like BTUs, height, capacity, etc?
