£100 for 40L stainless steel pot, cheap?

[peteoc]

Hi All,

Is £100 for a 40L stainless steel pot cheap? It's got a 4mm bottom and a 1.2mm wall. I'm thinking those dimensions are a little on the thin side......or maybe I'm clueless? :)

cheers

Pete

I've seen a 56l pot with the same wall thicknesses cheaper (£76ish). My 16l pot has the 4mm base and is really solid and not likely to scorch.

Don't know whether it's any good. Maybe wait for a few more responses as I'm no expert.

Also I think Bunglebrewsbeer got his from Powell Brewing. This looks good for the money.

It does indeed! I can see my bank balance dropping considerably over the next month or so. Need to work out exactly what I need equipment-wise first to go from my current FV to a full blown system :)

Just need to look at "borrowing" some parts from work for automation :geek:

for £220 i will sell you a 98l boil kettle with 3part ss drain valve 1 part ss recirc control valve and 2x 100% ss lwd brewing elements inc 2.5mm sq heatproof flex and 16a plugs and pt100 probe fitted.
im downgrading from 3 to 2 vessel brewing
(elements alone would cost over £100)

wot deadspace

That sounds like a good deal - are you going to stick it in the 'for sale' forum? Bet it won't be there for long....

I have a big sort out planned which should result in a huge list of bits n bobs for sale, but on the other hand its my shiny shiny precious

You can get a 50l pot with tap and hop filter for £88 on malt miller. No idea if it's any good but seems good value in comparison, you can get it without tap etc for £66.

I can also recommend powell brewing. All my gear was from him and its been spot on. I live near him though so got a good deal for picking up

think a 50l pot will cost you about £50 or less from catering portal that sell on French ebay. iv purchased from them in the past and the pots are good quality. loads of homebrewers buy from them. im sure someone could put there email address up. ive not got it.
