Stainless Steel Stockpots

Rob,
What size pot would you need if the kegs didn't work or we cant get kegs?
If you need 50 liters, a new 53qt stock pot is about $247. They are hard to find used. : (

What else do you need? Equipment 4 Less sells used restaurant equipment for reasonable prices, so let me know and I'll give them a call. I also know a guy called Denis who has some stuff. (It should be a man that deals with him, I'm not comfortable with him.)

  1. 50 liters is the standard size for full mash brewing that I've seen. It would be nice to get them that size that way I am one step closer to large scale brewing. The pot I have currently is 11 gallons I believe, but going larger gives us the ability to approximate brewing on the scale we are attempting.

    Aside from that, we need at least one burner, tubing, a counter-flow chiller would be great, but I have an emersion chiller. The emersion chillers are easy enough to make, I would just need copper tubing.

    Off of the top of my head, this is what I would need to give it a go. I'll look further into what is required from there.

  2. Stainless steel kegs are about $50 used, unfortunately the shipping is also $50 so essentially $100 apiece. There were a couple on ebay, didn't see any locally or on craigslist. Haven't checked actuall retailers yet, but there are a couple that sell used ss 1/2 barrel kegs.
