70l Stock Pot

[tribalfish]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows where to buy a 70L stock pot at a good price?
Also is there a big difference between using a stainless steel pot vs an aluminium one? :huh:

Thanks in advance, Tribal.

Hi Tribalfish,
I manage to see a 50L (not sure if you will need much more than that of AG) stainless steel stock pot at Mitre 10 for $80, from what I hear that is pretty good value. I'm assuming Mitre 10 are a national chain so should be able to this where ever you are. Heard that aluminium is best avoided for brewing.

He'll be on about the link to alzheimers... This has been discussed sooo many times and is rubbish.

Al is fine for brewing.

Completely off-topic:

I bought a 15.1l stockpot with a glass lid from Kmart yesterday for about $15, because they have 40% off kitchen stuff.

Good for small batches and wotnot...

I see people suggesting 50 to 60L stainless steel.. Im only going to be doing single batchs 21lt to 23lt, would a 50L be over the top? will i get out of trouble with a 30lt or will I suffer from constant boilovers?

 

[RetsamHsam]

If i were you I would go for a 60L pot.. You never know when you'll want to do a double batch and if you go with the 30L pot you won't have that option..

gava,

You will need a minimum 50ltr pot for single batches, your pre-boil volume will be about 30ltrs.. I use a 50ltr and still get the odd boil-over..

If you have a min 50LT for single batches what is the min of a double batch, because I do like the idea of make two batches of a good recipe and if im going to fork out the $$ I guess I would rather get a good one first up then getting a couple..

From what I had seen, the minimum for doubles is 80-100ltrs, you would also need a burner/reg capable of double batches and a big mash-tun..
