Wtb - Big Stainless Pot

[groucho]

Hi All.

I'm looking to buy a 100 litre (or greater) Stainless Steel stockpot or equivalent that I can use as a kettle. Ideally I would like something nice (like a Blichmann or Beerbelly etc), so if you have something that you think will fit my needs then please PM me with the details.

I am also interested in any converted kegs that could be used as a mash tun or HLT.

I am willing to courier from any part of Australia.

Thanks,
Groucho

Hi unrealeous. Yep, I have already entertained the idea of a custom fabrication..... thought I'd try my luck here first.

do you have a price range? I've recently done a huge search for stock pots if you have a price range i can give you some links places i checked out
I ended up getting aluminium for the cheapness but i came across lots of good ss ones along the way.

Price range: I was seriously looking at purchasing a 208 liter Blichmann BoilerMaker which is $1195 brand new (no longer in stock). That should give you an indication of what I am willing to spend....

I'm also not really interested in anything of low quality.

few on here, 166 L is the biggest i think http://www.hospitalitywholesale.com.au/bac...-casserole.html

cheaper ones here although only 98L in ss http://www.allquip.com.au/home/index.cfm?f...amp;startrow=11

98L again http://www.akitchen.com/store/stock-pots.html

thought i saw some bigger ones than those, oh well hope that helps!

custom fab is probably cheaper than the 166 L one in the link there

just me, but if i was looking at $1200 for a just a kettle then a sabco system wouldn't be out of the question, my 2 bobs..

if i had unlimited cash i would wait for a 200L SS Drum to pop up - rare but they do come up - then freight it over to be pimped out by beer belly. whirlpool returns, chiller, hop stopper....burger with the lot.

If he doesnt have a size suitable I'm sure you could ask wayne if he is able to fabricate something (just going by his website the biggest he goes to in SS is 98L so that might present a problem)

Are you looking to heat with gas or electric?
If electric a 44 gal SS drum would be the go. Dunno how they go on gas - but I have heard that people put them on italian spirals to make tomato sauce...

there was a thread on here recently with 205L SS drums for about $200 brand spankers

Thanks for all the replies.

If you think you have something that I'm looking for please PM me.

Regards,
Groucho
