I'll re-post what I just posted on another pot question thread:

You can spend 4-500 bucks on a Blichmann boilermaker, and I'm sure you'll be super happy - but its not necessary.

All you need is the pot itself, extra bells and whistles (ball valve, thermometer, sightglass) are 100% optional, it depends on what you want from your pot.

As far as guage of the steel, triple clad bottoms, aluminum vs stainless - there are pros and cons to it all. I would recommend avoiding the triclad bottom pots, however, as they tend to be significantly more expensive for little added benefit.

My personal recommendation would be the Bayou Classic 60 quart stainless steel. There's also an aluminum version.

If you really want the extra features, you can buy hardware and add it yourself for cheaper than buying it pre-made, but I would think about why you want those features before you spend the extra money.

A ball valve is good if you ever intend to build a system with pumps.

A sightglass is a nice to have regardless of your system, and helps you nail your volumes a little closer.

A thermometer is largely unnecessary since you can see when it is boiling. If you intend to do BIAB, you will probably want a quicker reading digital thermometer rather than the analog ones you'll see in most kettle therms.

You'll definitely still want a starter kit either way. It has a lot of nice tools that you'll need either way. Then build from there. Here's what I would do:

  • $90 - starter kit with plastic carboy
  • $100- 12 gallon kettle
  • $50- kettle conversion kit- ball valve and thermometer (can't see actual price at work...
  • $50- Propane Burner
  • $30 refractometer
  • $40 wort chiller
  • $60 stir plate
  • $15 erlenmeyer flask
  • $60 oxygen kit (50 there, plus a $10 tank at HD)

    So that puts you at about $500. That gives you a badass kettle and everything you need to do a full-boil extract batch, or enough for brew-in-a-bag if you want to dive into all-grain right away.

    Honestly, I wouldn't go much over that for a first batch. Try it a few times and see what suits you. You may want to get into the science end more and get a pH meter and hemocytometer. You may want to do 3-vessel all-grain and build a nice mash tun and get another kettle. You may want to get another coil and do a recirculating system. You may just want a pump to transfer faster. You may want to build a big stand for it all. You might decide you want electric controls to it... you won't know until you get into it a bit and determine what your priorities are.

    OR... watch craiglist for a month or so, and see if anybody is selling a big system. There's some badass ones out there that i've seen for very reasonable prices.

I just upgraded from my 10 gallon pot to the $99 15.5 gallon pot from Amazon. I'll be brewing with it for the 1st time this weekend. Just a warning though: it's very thin metal, not tri-clad, and putting it through a test run with just water left some stains on the inside. That said, I'll never have to worry about setting off some sparge water for my 5 gallon batches as I had to do in my 10 gallon pot.

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on the Tallboy. Any comparison to this. It's the other option I was looking at.

I just ordered my first burner and a new larger kettle (upgraded from 5 gallons). I can't wait to do my first biab.

Yeah, it's nice... and expensive. It just depends on what you need. I presently use a 6 gal pot that I got when I started brewing. However, now that I'm starting all grain recipes, this simply isn't big enough. So I'm considering upgrading too.

I've decided that I definitely want to go 15 gal as this will enable me to do 10 gal batches when I want to do so and doesn't cost too much more than a 10 gal pot. However, to me and my budget at least, I don't think the cost of this or any other deluxe brew pot is worth it. If money is no object, then something like that is awesome. But 1) I plan on converting a cooler for my mashtun, so I don't need those kettle accessories and 2) a spigot off the kettle is a luxury I can add later but be fine without for now. I'd rather buy this 15.5 gal pot today plus spend a little bit on a DIY cooler mashtun and upgrade it down the road.
