Thanks for input guys..I appreciate it. I am considering switching to the B3 kettle and would greatly appreciate some input from anyone who uses one.

You know, I voted for the converted keg, although If could have any one...for home brewing of course...it would have to be one of thoughs 20 gal. jobs w/ the copper filled bottom wrapped in stainless.

So if any of you have one of those just laying around...I'll take it off your hands :wink:

I have a B3 system (I think I JUST said that..) and while I love it, I will say that I recently saw the new kettles Northern Brewer has. I think they call them Mega Pots. They are nice and wide, and not as deep, which I find quite alluring (getting a chubby).
Really though, the B3's are great, but those NB ones are real nice and If I were starting a new system I would probably build it around them instead.

Oh, and I vote NO PANTS!!!

I have a 9-gallon from some guys in PA that have been making 'em and advertising in all the brew magazines as of late, think they're called brew-4-less.

Oh yeah....where the hell is the "No pants" option?? Sheesh.

No pants and a heavy duty 10 gallon aluminum stock pot I picked up through the restaurant equipment supplier we buy stuff from at work.
