Free 14 Gallon Stainless Steel Kettle

Post by Matt F »

I have a kettle left over from the More Beer brew sculpture I recently acquired. It was setup as a HLT HERMS with a Blichmann heating element so there are several holes. It is in good shape otherwise. It does not include the lid which I cut a hole in to use for my keg washer. It does come with the insulated wrap. You can plug the holes you do not need and make a lid if needed for a cheap kettle. Would make a good HLT. Would work as a boil kettle too. Just plug the holes you do not need.

Kettle Holes:
-Two holes for a weldless 1/2" fitting that was used for a HERMS coil by previous owner
-Two holes for a Blichman heating element, can plug with a weldless kit from Blichmann made for their weldless thermometer holes. Previous owner kept the electric heating element

-Three welded 1/2" ports, good for adding ball valve, thermometer temp probe, sight glass, etc...

The kettle is clean and may work for somebody. It is free.

I don’t currently have a HLT setup so I think I could fit that into my brewery nicely

Sweet, thanks! I’ll keep my eye out for a good element and pick up some plugs.
