Hi, Im Skunkmere,
Im a super noobie. I bought a few thing to begin my new brewing hobby. I can't wait until i got my first brew done but i got to get the equipment right first. This is a pot i have and i wanted to ask everyone if it would work out. I think is steel, its not shiny and magnets dont stick to it. It seems too heavy to be aluminum. the demensions are 13" wide, 17" deep and 1/8" thick wall. I dont have a lid should i get one, and where would i find one amazon? I was thinking if it did work i could drill out and weld a brass or SS valve and possibly a built in wort chiller, since this pot is pretty heavy by itself and if i could chill the wort down and transfer the wort without picking up the pot, it would make it really easy. Im in chicago and i think there is a pretty good homebrew scene around here, im looking forward to learning how to make my own beer and being good at it. Thanks in advance for any help. Thanks
