I'm also looking at moving from kits into BIAB and have had my eye on the 70L pot from craftbrewer (no affiliation) as I want to be able to do double batches. Anyone know how these pots go with a gas burner heating them? Have seen a similar sized pot with a triple layer bottom for about $50 more but not sure if it is worth the difference.

The thermometer only has a 2 inch stem according to the item description so won't be a problem, I have a 3 inch stem on my small 20L BIAB pot and it is fine. I say go for it, looks nice to me you can do double batches too. :beerbang:

I use it with a gas burner and have no trouble.contrarian said:
G'day,
I just spent 10 minutes typing a reply to this thread, only to somehow lose it. Oh well here goes again LOL.
I still have not decided on a kettle, however I found this while surfing last night. Similar price to Craftbrewer one, but with a sandwich base (am I right to think that this should be better for a gas burner?), pre-drilled same as CB and marginally bigger. The shop seems to have a pretty god rep with the Brissy brewers, at least from what I've read here, although there is not much posted about the on-line experiences. This would work out to a similar price to the one from the states once you factor in the ball valve and thermometer, although I probably won't worry about the thermo for BIAB, and this one is 15L bigger so would do double batches more easily.
In the meantime I am going to have a crack at a Maxi BIAB on the stove with my 19L Big W special. I am thinking a Golden Promise with Saaz or Perle SMASH.
Thanks for all the input so far, I really do appriciate it.
Regards,
Andrew.
