I have been brewing since I got my beginner kit last Christmas. I have been mostly brewing extract but I moving to all- grain. I brewed with the BIAB methods twice and they were my best batches yet. I am trying to choose a brew Pot for a mash tun and boil kettle to start. My main consideration is that I want to buy equip that I can continue to grow my brewing system on which is why I am not going with a converted cooler for a mash tun. I understand they are just fine but I am working towards building a 3 pot 15 gallon Hermes system. I'm considering three brands and would appreciate anyone's opinion on which way to go.
Bayou Classic. It's the least expensive and the mash tune kit comes with everything including false bottom. The specs and quality seem everbit as good as The others I am considering. The guy at the home brew shop didn't see to like the fact that the false bottom sat high above the bottom of the pot. Does this matter? I like the way this one looks the least. Any other thoughts or considerations on Bayou Classic?
Megapot - I like the way it looks and specs are great. The false bottom sits much lower in the pot. Does this matter? Also, folks have complained that ithe false bottom needs a converter kit to fit the 15 gallon pot properly. Any thoughts on the Megapot?
Anvil - I also like the way it looks and ... well it's made by Blickman. That speaks for its quality and they will have some of the innovations that Blackman develops (i.e. The ferment in the brew pot conversion kit). The false bottom also sits a little high but I have not seen one in person so I am not sure how high. Any thoughts on Anvil?
I want to get brewing with a new Mash tun soon so any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
