Hey All,
I'm just about ready to step up from mini-stovetop BIAB AG brews to a full-batch, three vessle AG setup - the last bit of equiptment I need is a Kettle - I can't decide between the 40L concealed element crown urn or the 36L beerbelly stockpot with fittings. Would appreciate comments and feedback from people currently using an urn as their kettle.
Urn Pros:
system will be all electric (already have a 22L urn as HLT) - easier inside brewing in the rain!
don't have to buy gas/burner
Urn cons:
slower boil time (?)
scorching (maybe not an issue with the conceled element?)
stockpot pros:
superior build quality
better plumbing
easier cleaning (?)
Stockpot cons:
have to fork out for a burner and gas!
Whattayarekon?
