I know there are tons of these posts, but I wanted to start an open dialog.
I am switching to full AG. Going to do 5 gallon bathes in a 10 gallon pot. After reading a few of the posts here, I'm leaning toward going with a cheaper pot and adding my own sightglass and thermometer - adding a valve too if need be.
I have been leaning toward SS because I like the idea of it staying nice and being able to use PBW to clean it, but I can easily be talked out of that if you guys would make a provocative case for aluminum being easy cleanable and working just fine.
I had my eye on the Winware 40 qt SS. It's $111 on amazon, adding a sight glass/thermometer and spigot, I'll be up to $170 or more.
I know the $48 winco 40 qt aluminum stock pot on amazon is a popular choice and that seems like I could trick it out with all the bells (not a whistle fan) for around $100 or so.
What do you guys think? I'm open to anything. I definitely want to have a thermometer and valve, I think I'd like to add a sight glass but again, I'm open.
