10 Gallon Brew Kettle Stainless Steel with Lid and Ball Valve

I have made three batches of beer with this kettle so far...each and every brew day has been a wonderful experience!I have only been home brewing for a little over a year and this is the first brew kettle that I have purchased specifically for this purpose.Just as advertised the construction is solid, with riveted handles and very even heat distribution, this kettle is a great investment for the price! The only thing that I can mention that may be a little bit of a con for some is the installation of the plug and valve.Overall it is a very minor hurdle to overcome with a few basic tools.I would recommend this to anyone wanting to purchase a quality piece of equipment! This kettle will certainly be in my arsenal for a long time!

poorly packaged bad chinese product.

This kettle is actually made of thicker gauge stainless steel than most of the more expensive kettles at 18g which is thicker than 22. It has the tri ply bottom, rubber coated handles and 3 pc ball valve which is better than the 2 pc that some have. I like the look of the brushed steel and nice lid. It came pretty clean. You should take the ball valve apart to loosen it up and clean it. I'm very happy with it.
