Does anyone have a pic of a Concord or Spike kettle next to a Keg?
Thanks
Thanks
Is this the same Concord pot? Seems like a great price for a 15 gal stainless.
There are two different style pots and lids that seem to come from different china manufacturers that both carry the "concord" brand name.Is this the same Concord pot? Seems like a great price for a 15 gal stainless.
There seem to be 2 styles on ebay - one with a rounded lid and one with a flat lid. The rounded 60qt is 17" wide x 16.5" high and the flat is 17"x17". Both say they have riveted handles. Other than they seem the same. The 17x17 it would actually be more like 67 qt or 16.71 gallons so I would prefer that one. Does anyone know the difference? I don't want leaky handles!
How much time and money did you spend polishing that keggle to look half as good as the Concord 20 gallon kettle?
Kettle FTW IMO cheers!
And you still didn't get a matching lid?
Haha
For anyone who happens to stumble upon this thread (like myself) I thought i'd post up some pictures now that I received my Concord kettle.
I'm curious...have you checked the actual volume of your 20g Concord? I'm interested in that kettle, but there seem to be conflicting reports as to its true volume. One poster on this thread stated it was 18.5, but some reviewer on Amazon says it's 20. I've heard that Concord buys from more than one source in China, so maybe some variation in tolerances?
Just sayin that the concord comes with a nice lid, a keggle does not.
I'm a fan of kettles over keggles that's all....especially the relatively low price of the nice Concord kettles.
Lot of value for a nice pot.
IKEA lids and all!
I just got it delivery so I haven't taken the time to fill it full of water. Temps are below zero right now in Minnesota so dumping 20 gallons of water takes a bit more work than normal
Hopefully this weekend I'll find time to fill it in the next couple of days using my other pots and sight glasses. Once I do I'll post up with the results.
I hear you on the cold--I'm not far from you. It's supposed to be close to 50 by the weekend, though. Wish I was brewing then.
Just to save you from wasting all that water and time...when you get a chance, could you post the inside dimensions? I'll calculate from that. There's not much of a rounding around the bottom edge, so a simple cylinder calculation should get me fairly close on volume.
Looks like a rock-solid kettle. It's on my Amazon wish list. For $115 shipped, I'm close to pulling the trigger.

Diameter is 17-5/8"
Depth is 18-3/4"
I failed all my math classes so post up what you figure out

I also have one of the flat lid (ballington labeled) pots made by concord... the rivets leak but the pot has been great otherwise for the last year. What I dont care for are the wide/low dimensions.... I just purchased some 16 gallon bayou classic pots with welded handles which have dimensions closer to my keg/HLT
