10 Gallon Brew Kettle Buying Guide
Now you have taken a look at the best 10 gallon brew kettles, here are some general tips for choosing the right one for your needs.
Induction Safe Design
Just because stainless steel is durable doesn’t mean you will be able to use it on your induction range. Usually only aluminum bottom kettles can be used on induction ranges.
Welded Handles
The brewing community is split on this one. While welded handles are preferable if you don’t want to chance any leaking, they can’t be removed for deep cleaning. We think welded handles are better in general since the handles won’t effect the taste of your brew but this one is still up for debate.
Stainless Steel Accessories
in general, you want to keep your entire rig stainless steel because stainless steel can be fully sanitized. So try to go for a set that includes all stainless steel spigots and thermometers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How big of a brew kettle do I need?
A: The general rule of thumb is that you need a brew kettle that is twice as large as your batch size.
Q: Do I need to sanitize my brew kettle?
A: Boiling wart and temperature should kill any bacteria present in the pot. But it’s still a smart idea to deep clean your pot before every brew.
Q: Can you brew beer in an aluminum kettle?
A: Yes. Despite the popular misconception that aluminum will impart a metallic taste to your beer, aluminum kettles can be used to brew beer.
