Anyone have any insight into anything in the 10-15 gallon Electric kettle size range with a bottom drain? I'm getting sick of having to shop vac out my leftover crap in my kettle after brew day, and the mess that cleaning the shop vac then makes. Would love a bottom drain kettle to not only quickly rinse it out, but also for potential CIP to make life easier. I only brew 5 gallon, but i'd be willing to go to a 15 gallon kettle for 10 batch sizes if it meant i can get the bottom drains.
SS brewtech used to make Kombucha tanks that i considered converting, but they're discontinued, and Stout tanks look like they're mostly 20 gallons and up when it comes to a bottom drain if i want to also incorporate an electric element and whirlpool fitting. Plus they're crazy expensive.
Just seems like a bottom draining kettle is a luxury only for those brewing half barrel or more
