Our most economical option in our new line of Brewer's Best Brew Kettles. Features include:Graduated marks inside and out Lid included Available in 8 and 16 gallon sizes Non Ported Solid Body Design 0.8 mm Stainless Steel 201 Stainless Steel Construction Review: Exactly what I needed! - This kettle is very well made and is exactly what I needed for cooking 20lbs of grain at a time. You will need to purchase a thermostat and a valve or plug for the bottom (depending on what way you want to go). Other reviews mentioned the "suggested items" valve does not fit. That valve comes with many different options for installation and I can confirm 100% that it screws right in! Review: Great deal. Best bang for the $$ - This is the best bang for the buck in brew kettles. One caveat is that the markings are not 100% accurate, but they are off by exactly .25gallons, so when you have 6gallons of water in the kettle it only reads 5.75. I verified this by weighing the water (8.345lbs/gal) I added and comparing to the markings on the kettle. But every kettle I’ve ever owned was off, at least this kettle is off on every measurement by .25gallons. ## Features - Wall and bottom thickness: 1. 0mm - 201 Stainless Steel - Graduated volume markers from 1 to 7 gallons. Lid included. - Perfect for brewing beer! - Bottom coupler 1. 5" Off the bottom, used for ball Valve. - Top coupler 6" Off the bottom, used for thermometer. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MZBPZVF | | Best Sellers Rank | #677,333 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #27 in Beer Brewing Pots & Kettles | | Brand | Brewer's Best | | Brand Name | Brewer's Best | | Color | Stainless Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 125 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00888690056947 | | Included Components | Brewer's Best® 8 Gallon Basic Brewing Kettle With Two Ports Lid Included | | Item Type Name | Brewing Equipment | | Manufacturer | LD Carlson® | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Nominal Wall Thickness | 1.0 millimeters | | UPC | 888690056947 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brewer's Best - **Color:** Stainless Steel - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00888690056947 - **Manufacturer:** LD Carlson® - **Material:** Metal - **Nominal Wall Thickness:** 1.0 millimeters - **Specific Uses For Product:** Brewing beer - **UPC:** 888690056947 ## Images ![Brewer’s Best 5694 8 Gallon Basic Kettle w/Two Ports Brewing Equipment, Stainless Steel, 8 Gallon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zUKENh4vL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: includes the thermometer and the port valve?** A: The thermometer and port valve are not included.
