Hey guys,
I managed to find this 100Lt Aluminium Stock Pot for $90 as Hills clearance shop (only had one). I wasn't planning on increasing batch size for a while, but couldn't pass this up. Good reason to completely revamp my brewery. They had lots of cheap scrap metal too, so might make up a decent frame.
I'm assuming it's similar to the ones beerbelly sell.
My only worry with using this as a kettle is that it's fatter than it is tall (diameter is approx 55cm and height is approx 45). Does anyone have a kettle with dimensions similar to this? Does it result in a lot of wastage? Can i still make smallish batches with such a fat kettle? Any other downsides to a stumpy kettle?
Also, Ive got a 4 ring burner with a medium pressure adjustable reg. Anyone know if ill need to upgrade?
Cheers,
Al
