I've been using a BC 1064 for BIAB induction brewing on my Avantco IC3500 for 3 years and it works great, no real issues at all. I've got a scorch ring on the bottom but otherwise great.
I have a weldless fitting for a ball valve/pickup as well as a sight glass.
I'm thinking ahead to Xmas, and potential brewery upgrades.
How big of a difference would a Spike Brewing kettle with tri-clad bottom make over what I currently have? Will the tri-clad bottom make a noticeable difference?
Will it heat faster, maintain temps better? The Spike Brewing kettle has thicker walls, would I still need to wrap in reflectix to maintain mash temps?
Or would I just be getting the bling?
Thanks!
