For 16 grand you could take an extended pub crawl around Europe lasting a year at least and drink- well, everything.
And SS Brewtech's (Chinese) stainless steel isn't all that good. I leave mine outside in all weathers in a non-maritime environment and the lid's showing signs of rust. The steel is also thinner than other vessels I have.
Perfectly adequate, not sure about VFM on
this scale though.
