Love it! First batch of beer came out great. The filter helped keep the sediment to a minimum when decanting into the fermenter such that I skipped the the secondary fermentation process. The copper cooling coil dropped right in. No more brewing in a small kettle and then diluting later.

Kettle works well with no leaks after multiple brew sessions. Only complaint is the adjustable thermometer isn't very accurate. I correct it to read 70 like my electronic thermometer and it'll only read 200 when it's got a rolling boil or I correct it to 212 and it'll read 15 over when trying to cool to move to the fermenter.

This is the "Cadillac" of brew kettles for a reasonable price. It was easy to assemble everything together. The kettle is sturdy and all the extras are fantastic. It is super convenient to have the thermometer on the front and the spigot is great to just open and fill my fermenting bucket. The first kettle i received had a large dent towards the bottom. I reached out to the manufacturer and they provided excellent support. I was able to exchange and the replacement i received was in pristine condition.

Bottom line, I would recommend this kettle to anyone looking to get more serious about home brewing.

I didn't use it for brewing. I have used it many times to pasteurize bulk substrates (mostly wood chips) for growing mushrooms. This thing has made my pasteurizing process so much easier. I highly recommend this for amateur mycology. I got some wine caps growing on sawdust/chips and some almond agaricus for the garden. After my 60 minutes of 140-160 degrees F pasteurization for an hour, I simply put it by the sink and open the tap to drain the kettle. The false bottom helps so much to keep the chips/sawdust above the water in the kettle. I let the kettle sit for a few hours with the tap open and the chips/sawdust drips excess moisture inside the kettle. By the time the substrate is cool, it is perfectly at field capacity. This is the bomb.

The thermometer on the side helps me make sure I get the temperature right during pasteurization.

Well I bought 2 of these pots about 3-4 months ago but haven't got to use them till yesterday. When I received them they looked fine and were packed well. One of the pots had 2 pin hole leaks in the bottom side. You can't really see them by just looking at them. Didn't realize they were there till yesterday when I filled them with water. There's no damage looks like it's just a factory defect. To late to send back though so I emailed the company to see what they will do for me. Pending their response I will revise the review.

Update: messaged gas one and had a reply the next business day. The day after that they had one on its way to me. Very pleased with the quality of the 1 good kettle I have already and with the speed of them taking care of this issue even though my return period was up.
