   I was worried about the thickness of this pot but I am not worried anymore. It is quite thick and I can pour 7 gallons of homebrew from the pot to the fermenter without any bending. The lid is nice and sturdy and I would definitely buy this again. I bought it for $75 with free shipping from Amazon. You can’t beat that deal. The rivet holes for the handles leaked the first time I brewed in it but haven’t leaked since then. I have used it for 5 brews and 2 corn roasts. Great pot!

   I used this pot for the first time last week. No leaking rivets on mine. Yes.. metal is thin but it is a solid pot that does the job for under $100 dollars. Besides when lifting this pot when its almost full around 10+ gallon you will be glad the metal is lighter than some of the thicker higher quality stainless. (i actually busted my laundry sink by dropping a heavier 6 gallon pot into it…yikes!) I will update my post after a few more uses.

   Though the stainless is a bit thin (not quite sure of the gauge), this 11 gallon pot is quite good/sturdy for homebrewing. I have not had a problem with the rivets leaking, as in the prior post. The vented lid is good, in that it allows the steam pressure to escape, so the lid isn’t bobbling up and down. The vent is small enough so you don’t lose too much heat, either. Be VERY careful when using lids when homebrewing, of course…you don’t want a boil-over.

   Though it would be nice if the bottom had an aluminum disc clad between sstainless layers, for better heat distribution, you stil can’t beat the price, coupled w/ no tax and free super saver shipping.

   A good, all around stockpot and water bath canner for those tall bottles and gallon jars that just will not fit in anything else. I suppose it would work great for a turkey fryer, but we purchased it for making stocks, broths, and canning.

   The heavy stainless has not scorched anything yet, as cheaper ‘bargain’ stockpots tend to do. The lid is impressive and heavy as well.

   Would have been a five star purchase, but the rivets holding the handles on leaked on both sides, limiting filling to about two inches below them. This makes the top five inches or so of the stockpot unusable.

   An all around good pot, but make sure you check the rivets by filling with water before you put something important inside, ESPECIALLY oil for frying.
