The brew kettle, sometimes called a brew pot, is one of the handfuls of truly essential pieces of homebrewing equipment. Austin Homebrew has high-quality stainless steel brew pots and boil kettles ready to complete your homebrew set-up. Both extract and all-grain brewers need a good, sturdy brew pot or kettle for their boil. Although you can certainly start out by buying a stockpot from a big-box store, eventually youíll want to upgrade to a dedicated kettle just for beer making.
What Size Brew Pot Do I Need?
What Size Brew Pot Do I Need?
- Size matters. Consider this when selecting your brew pot or kettle. This will determine the maximum volume you can boil. For most beginners, our basic 5-gallon pot will work great.
- All-grain homebrewers will need to boil the full volume of their wort, so our 10 Gallon or 15 Gallon Brew Pots are perfect.
- Plan for the future homebrew days and buy a brew pot or kettle thatís at least 1.5 times your batch size.
- For a 5-gallon batch, we recommend a 10 Gallon Brew Pot. Going twice as large protects you against a boilover.
- Just like our Deluxe Brew Kettles, a good homebrew kettle should be constructed of heavy-duty 304 stainless steel with a tri-clad bottom made specifically for even heat distribution.
- A good brew kettle should come equipped with a lid that can conveniently hang on the kettle's riveted handles.
- The inside of the kettle should feature internal volume markers in liters and gallons.
- A good brew pot should come with a 1/2î NPT pipe coupling and can be used as a small mash tun, hot liquor tank, boil kettle.
