19 litre cook pot

[Hip Hops]

I just bought a 19 litre stainless steel pot today from Big W for only $19.95, quite a good bargain i reckon as i have seen them for as much as $100.00 at homeware shops. I'm gonna amp up my brewing i think - get a bit more adventurous - grains and stuff

I got mine from Big W though it may not be the 19L one. I've used it for 2 Kit + malt + grain + hops brews now and the improvement in my beers is fantastic

Got one of those myself for heating mash and sparge water and i love it, certainly beats lugging around my 40L ally

Yeah I got a nice SS one with a copper base from vic market for about $40, tho it's only 12L I think. It's good for heating up the mash and sparge water, or for doing extract boils. Only use my 40L ally ($95) for all-extract.

I bought one of those a couple of weeks ago at Big W, for about $19. Bargain. Would be brilliant for K&K brewers looking to move into using unhopped goop cans, specialty grains, and doing their own hopping, as a first move into AG brewing.
Perfect for heating up the mash and sparge water, leaving the 40 litre alu pot for sole use as a boil kettle.
I can get my mash and sparge water up to temperature quicker in the 19 litre SS pot than in the big 40 litre pot, for reasons I don't really understand.

Probably a combination of things. Surface area to volume ratio, heat transmission efficiency (which in turn depends on a bunch of things), how good the lid is, how much air is in the headspace of the pot, blah blah blah.
