5 Gallon Stainless Steel Brew Pot

One arrived with a couple good size dents. Both work fine. Great purchase based on the cost.

Kettle works great!

Price was reasonable. Arrived as described in the product description. Have not brewed with it yet but I don’t anticipate any problems.

I ordered this "brew pot" not for brewing anything but to cool a condenser coil in a water distiller that I am building. Due to some delay in getting other components and/or getting them to integrate into the system I have not used the pot yet. But it appears perfect for my application.

The pot itself is decent based on the price paid - the lid however is a flimsy joke....no point in including the lid as it takes away from the mental value of the pot when looked at together

What I was looking for. Adequate and inexpensive.

Glad I got this.

Love this stock pot! Not only was it shipped quickly but it has been perfect for our production needs. Definitely sturdy and the handles do not overheat or prove too hot to handle. Thank you for shipping this to us so quickly Adventures in Homebrewing!

We got the pot for just the use of brewing. The thinner bottom makes heat time quicker. Works well if you just use it for brewing and nothing else.

I got this to warm up sparge water or make small batches and itís exactly what I was looking for. Lightweight, sturdy handles, good quality.

Good quality and great price.

This stainless steel vessel is perfect for brewing typical batches of beer. Nice quality at a very affordable price.

Itís a metal pot. Good price, pretty good quality so far. There is nothing wrong with this item. Mine mightíve gotten pushed in a little bit in transit but I just gave it a good press and it popped right out.

This has been and still is my first pot I bought for my brewing setup. I bought this over 2 years ago and it is still going strong. I started out doing extract and I have been for the last year creating my own beers and doing partial mashes. Depending on how big the grain bill is I will put the grain in a huge BIAB and either steep/mash the grain in this pot or I repurposed a 5 gallon round cooler for grain steeping. I typically use the cooler because it is insulated and I can keep the temps where I need them. I am just now getting to the point where I want a 10-gallon kettle 2/3 years later. Very good starting kettle and highly recommended.

Yes this is a cheap pot. It's worth the sale price. Ever since they changed the brewing instructions to 2.5 gal. I don't need a big pot. Plus my wort chiller cools the wort in half the time because I have more copper in the wort. I would pay more for a high quality 5 gal. But they don't offer one. This one works just fine.

Exactly what was needed for my small batches, works great.

The 5 gallon pot was exactly what I needed for my small brew recipes. It's not too heavy for additional weight, but still strong enough to get the job done.

Pot is very thin and does have riveted handles. It is a very cheap price so this is not entirely unexpected. Pot did arrive with several dents in it, probably due to the fact that it is so thin.

This pot appears to have been upgraded. I bought one a while back and it was very flimsy and cheap with riveted handles. Bought a new one last week and it is twice as sturdy with tack welded handles. Good medium weight pot. I am planning to put an Anvil weldless ball valve on it for a brew kettle. I would not have attempted to put a valve on the old one because it was so flimsy. So take older reviews with a grain of salt, because they're probably referring to the old flimsy pot.

A good deal for the money. I wasn't expecting it to be as sturdy as it was. Drilled a hole in the top and used it as a pot still. Worked perfectly.

Picked this up on sale and was a little concerned after reading reviews of the walls being thin/flimsy. Brewed my first batch last weekend and it did the job perfectly. Very happy with the deal I got on this.

Great for heating water and other light duty. Bottom is very thin and can easily scorch the wort. As someone else mentioned not great for flat top stove. Once heat was going it wobbled a lot. Had to secure with some bungee to keep 3.5 gallons from splattering all over, which probably didn't help with scorching. Thankfully it was a darker beer and won't be noticed.

I bought another 5 gal pot from a competitor a while back for twice the price. It weighed 3.5 lbs and this one weighs 4.5 lbs. Its thicker; I would have given it a "5" if the handles were riveted instead of stamped.

As advertised. I actually bought it when it was $10 more. Great deal for $19.99!

Good value at the price but it is made from very thin stainless steel. Have been using this for about 2 months and only to heat my sparge water - there is a small leak from one side when pot is filled above the rivets that attach handles to body of the pot; not that big a deal for me since I rarely need to heat that much water at once. I would NOT use this pot as a brew kettle though, because I don't think it will last that long for this application. So it's 4 stars based on how I use it.

For the money this is a hard stainless pot to beat. If you've used stainless pots much you'll be happy for the cost. For people new to using a pot this big and thin for cooking in, low and slow is best. Cook too fast and it will burn easy.

I have only used it once since I bought it, but it worked fine. The price was very good and it arrived quickly after I ordered it.

You can't miss with this brew pot. Excellent quality, fast shipping and an exceptional buy for your brewing needs.

Doesn't work well on a glass radiant cooktop, as the bottom is mostly indented, and it won't actually touch the burner. This should be pointed out in the product description. If it wasn't for that it would be great.

Outstanding buy good and heavy stainless steel well made with welded handles, lid handles also welded. Already brewed a couple of batches getting ready to brew a few more.

Shipped quickly, arrived intact and was a great price. Excellent pot for my batches.

Perfect pot for boiling up my strike and sparge volumes (approximately 3-4 gallons). Although the lid is pretty thin, it is just enough to keep the heat in and get your water up to temperature. For those looking to brew 5 gallon batches, I would say this pot is too small since you need about 6 gallons pre boil. Just a heads up.
