Read All Reviews for Bayou Classic 10-gallon 4-piece Brew Kettle

A gift to my True Love and he loves it!

Ordered the pot and was very pleased with the price. When I opened the box I noticed it did not have the promised ball valve...just had the thermo. I am calling them to have the valve sent separate. Other than that it is good.

The weldless attachments leaked a bit at first, but some tightening an nylon tape fixed them.

works great had a small ploblem get the valve to seal.

bought as a gift, the recipient was overjoyed! Better quality than expect

I use this for brewing. The thermometer and built in spout make the job a lot easier. Great price and solid piece of equipment.

The kettle is a little thin, but appears to heat evenly and no burns on my first three batches. I only wish I had bought the false bottom to hold the grain off of the thermometer, since on my first batch i overheated the water because the grain was surrounding the thermometer giving a false reading. Lesson learned and the last two boils were good to go. I am not sure about longevity due to thin materials but it is currently doing a great job.

Great value! Works perfectly!

This product helped process the BEST home brew I have ever tasted!!

This kettle is well made and Great Offer Stock has the best price on it that I have found.

make sure if you purchase this baby that you wrap the threads with Teflon tape or some food grade.thread goop. Ours leaked right off the bat with just a gallon or so in it before I wrapped the threads. There were a few pieces we had left over and there was no mention of them in the sparse instructions. I recommend this for light to medium use in a light commercial or residential setting.

This is good boil kettle. Thermometer and valve work as expected. The number of gallons are clearly marked, easy to read. Is light metal.... but still a good product for the price.

My main concern with this was that it would work with an induction cooktop - the fact that a magnet does NOT stick to the bottom is not a good indicator, as it heated nicely with my Avantco 120V cooktop. You do have to assemble the temperature probe and the spigot, which is fine, because any weldless setup, you need to finesse the installation to make sure it doesn't leak. the key is not to overtighten; let the o-rings do their job. All-in all, good 10 gallon pot for the price.

Great brew pot! Keeps the wort at a constant temperature and easy drainage into fermentor.

I paid considerable more for this kit 3 years ago and just stumbled across the deal Great Offer Stock is having on it while searching for a friend. I've brewed hundreds of gallons of beer since buying this kettle. It makes brew day so much more enjoyable and easy. The quality is outstanding and the false bottom combined with the mesh filter makes keeping cold break material and hops seed out of the fermenter a breeze.

I was looking to upgrade from my turkey fryer pot without spending a fortune and this kettle was the perfect solution. It does everything I need for half the price of some other brands. Assembly was easy, and the wrenches and thread tape were included. I'm still mashing in my home built orange cooler tun, so I chose to skip the false bottom and save some cash. My only complaint is with the safety latch on the valve. You have to lift it up to open or close the valve, which could be a problem if you need to close the valve quickly. I solved this easily by bending one of the release tabs with my pliers. Now it still can't open accidentally, but closes without any interference. If you're the kind of person who drives a Toyota rather than a Lexus, this is the kettle you want. It's a solid choice for the price.

This 10 gallon kettle is perfect for home brewing. I have brewed both a 5 and ten gallon batch in this kettle, and the built in thermometer is a real plus. It's good construction and works great!
