Thin wall is harder to drill so I dremeled it out and it works.

Heats a lot faster than the keggel.

I should be brewing.

How many gallons is that Sandy? looks exciting. I forgot to put the bazooka in my BIAB pot at the weekend and it drained just fine (I drain rather than pulling the bag)

Is this the one you got from Dave? If so I'm very in when he gets more

20 +/- 80l.

I don't have a bazooka in my kegel an it may not stay in this pot.

I have been pulling the bag in the keg, that may not work for this size.

Yes its almost all from Dave. Ball Valve and Bazooka I had on hand.

I used to pull 28lb grain bills, I was worried the bag might break so I had two bags and double bagged. Heavy. Some run a rope over a beam or through an overhead pully on the ceiling or on a 2x6 straddled between two step ladders.

Looks good Sandy, do you think a step bit would drill that pot?

[GAM]

I used a 1/8" pilot and then a step bit mine was 1/16 too small.

The 1/8 was a pain. I "marked" it with a punch and drilled for a long time. The step was a breeze and the drem was noisy but OK.

Looks good. How does the wall of the pot hold up when you move the ball valve? I may be in the market for a new pot after the summer - keggle, due to its shape and distance from burner isn't the most efficient brewing tool. Pot should be quicker to heat.

That's a big pot. I've got a 10 gallon and it looks huge, that one must be ridiculous. Mine is stainless steel but does anybody use aluminum? I've read a bit about off flavours and things of that sort but apparently people use them anyway.

I've got a 12.5 gal aluminum kettle, as do a number of other here, been using it for a couple years with not an issue

I also have an aluminum pot. Works great

That's good to know. Can't always believe what you read.

I have an aluminum kettle and mash tun. Got them at cash and carry. I think they are 70l.
