A nice pot for the price tag. Big and shiny. A little thin on the Ss gauge. maybe a #22. Handles seem well welded, need to screw the lid handle. Thermometer and bulkhead work well. So far in happy with my purchase. The only down side is that I don't think is really a 45gal. They calculate the volume for a perfect cylinder. But this pot got a couple of curves and the upper diameter it's a little bigger than the bottom diameter. A brew a 17 gallon batch and it almost half full instead of a third. My calculation is this this pot it's around 41gallons. Good enough for 30gallon batches .

I bought this to make it easier for when I move my beer from the cook to the carboy. Previously I used a big funnel and would pour it in. Always made a mess when making more than 3 gallons. Not any more. moving it to the fermentor is a breeze, no mess, and monitor temp is way easier as well! I would recommend this to any homebrewer!.

Very thin and wasn’t put together all the way. I’m not talking about assembly. The lit handle literally was not attached to the lid. It’s supposed to be riveted.

We found that the Stockpot was very high quality and made of slightly thicker Stainless Steel then many out on the market.. The additional items just added to the value was the stainless steel ball valve and the high quality gauge, which we found to be working with no problems. When we need to add to our setup, we will be definitely purchasing another.

I wish it would be a bit thicker, but for the price I paid, its good!

Nice pot. Gets the job done for the home brewing I do. A little assembly required but fairly self explanitory.

First time I've had a pan this big making brewing much easier very happy

Great kettle for the price. Built in thermometer works well.

I used this pot for brewing beer. My only complaint is that the washers were too small so I had to go to Ace to get a couple new ones. Not that it was really needed but there weren't any assembly instructions. Will probably end up as back up kettle.

Very happy with the increased capacity and thermometer built in. Great price for the size.
