Next Kettle

Brewers,
I saw this kettle and think that something like it will be my next step up. I have also scoped out some split dairy tanks for a MLT. I think that with 3bbl batches, ATF/ABC permits and licensing may be a good idea. Image

This is the one I have. I'll probably end up using it for a mash tun. I can pump boiling water through the jacket to do step mashes, and not have to mess with steam. I was originally planning on using it as a boil kettle, but I just don't want to deal with building and steam generator. Especially since I'm an idiot and would probably kill myself and burn my house down.

Nice kettle Lufah, I hear you about the steam. You got insurance though, eh? :shock:

Dont get me started on the "burning the house down" rant. I will probably go with some sort of electric steam generator (science suppliers) when I do go for it.

You know of any good suppliers for steam generators that would work with that kind of kettle? I looked around a while back and couldn't find any at a reasonable price.
