SS Brewtech 15 Gallon Brew Kettle

[agentbud]

As of this writing this is listed at $202.55. Normal MAP retail is $239. When I first saw this on Amazon it was listed at $176 ($63 below MAP! and cheaper than the 10 gallon version). I thought it had to be a mistake so I jumped on it. I did not post it then as I was not sure if they would honor it but it showed up at my door today - Perfect. The price slowly crept up a few dollars a day to where it is now so I'm guessing it will keep going up. Not sure what is going on with that pricing but still a decent deal at $202. Plus you get it shipped free if you are a Prime member!

It's a great kettle. Have had mine for nearly 4 years now. Just bought a valve rebuild kit for it.

Looks like a nice kettle, how well does that trub dam attachment work on the inside? I have a kettle with a weldless valve and am wondering if I might be able to add it on, morebeer sells them for ~$15:

The trub dam works great. It won't stop everything, but significantly reduces what goes into your fermentor. I don't know that you can just pop the trub dam into any weldless valve, but you can buy the entire valve assembly for $30 and get the proper bulkhead fitting from SS direct. Not listed on the website, but if you contact them, they will get you what you need. None of the rebuild kit parts were available on the site, but they sent me an invoice for them which made for a quick order.
