8 Gallon MegaPot Brew Kettle

8 Gallon 304 Stainless Steel Kettle The MegaPot brew kettle is not only a workhorse but a well-thought-out and praise-worthy brew day essential trusted by countless homebrewers. No details were missed on this stainless steel kettle customizable to suit your exact needs. The 8-gallon MegaPot is ideal for performing a full wort boil on any 5-gallon batch. A full boil helps to improve hop utilization and avoid caramelizing the malt extract. This is a great upgrade for any extract brewer, but will work as a boil kettle for 5 gallon All-Grain batches as well. While it can work as an All-Grain mash tun using the Universal False Bottom, the smaller size will limit your grain bill to lower gravity beers. MegaPot is a masterpiece, not just another steel pot. Every detail has been thought through to enhance the beer making experience. Crafted of 304 stainless steel for ease of cleaning. Stay cool silicone handles on the kettle and lid serve to limit scorching! The handles are riveted in place to aid in lifting a hot liquid-filled pot. No weld failures here! A polished stainless steel band surrounds the upper rim, reinforcing rigidity of the pot while adding a little bling. And that's not all. We've added the feature that every brewer wants in a kettle - graduated volume markers inside the kettle - one at each gallon. No more need for a sight glass! The heart of the kettle is a 4mm thick Tri-Clad bottom- made specifically for even heat distribution. The 1 to 2 proportion of MegaPot has been scientifically designed to promote a vigorous boil and reduce off-flavors. And last of all, the MegaPot logo is stamped on every kettle. When you have the best, show it off! Available with weldless ball-valve or ball-valve and thermometer. Ideal for: boiling no more than 5-6 gallons of wort. Smaller partial mash or Brew-In-A-Bag systems. If you are adding the 11.5" Titan® False Bottom, use the optional IsoFlow 3/8" Hose Barb to connect it to the bulkhead using some 3/8" high-temp tubing. 8 Gal MegaPot Brew Kettle Specs: 304 Stainless Steel.
