Noticed the recent sponsor thread featuring bottom draining kettles, and it looks to be a very nice product.
A low cost and less pretty way to get similar utility can also be achieved. My Mash Tun & HLT are made this way. I uses threaded pipe out the side, for ease of handling. Others have used tri-clamp fitting out the bottom. Both start with inverted half keg.
Edit; I realized after posting that pictures are of first iteration. Dip tube gauge had to be put on a separate through hull to work, and electrical element was upgraded. More openings can be fairly easily added for a HERMS set up.
