2/28/2013 -- How thick is this particular 5 gallon SS brew pot?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The wall thickness is 0.8 mm. Standard gage for brewpots of this size.
6/9/2012 -- When I buy this specific kit (Cooper's Unhopped Wheat Malt 3.3 Lb.) What else do I need to purchase (specifically) to make it?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: As far as ingredients, you'll need some additional fermentables, like dry wheat malt extract OR corn sugar, hops, and priming sugar and water. See links below.
You didn't say whether/not you already have the equipment for making beer. If so, that's it.
If you don't have the equipment, then an Equipment Kit is a great way to go. Additionally . . .
3/12/2011 -- I have a ceramic cooktop stove i.e. the heating surface is completely flat. will I have any problems bringing this pot to a boil?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Probably not; depending on the actual heat output (BTU's) of your stove.
The question is not really IF, it's a matter of how long it will take to reach a boil. If you're patient, it's not a problem. On a really weak stovetop, it can take an hour (or even more) to reach a boil. It's not really a problem, it's just a matter of waiting... . . .

4/19/2008 -- This is just an F.Y.I. for the person who posted that a 12" diameter 10" high container has a volume of 1.5 gallons. In order to find the volume of a cylindrical container, you use the formula:[(3.14159)*radius^2]*height
This gives us: [(3.14159)*6"^2]*10"=1130.97 Cubic Inches
The conversion factor for Cubic Inches to . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Correct!
2/1/2008 -- I calculate that a 12" diameter pot that is 10" tall has a volume of 1.632 gallons, not 5 gallons. 1.632 gallons should be enough to prepare 1.5 gallons of wort, but it seems you're advertising that this pot actually hold 5 gallons of liquid. Is this true, or is there some error in the dimensions that you list on this page?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Your calculations are off.
The volume of a cylinder is given by:
V= pi times radius squared times height
V=(pi)(36)(10)= 1131 cubic inches
One gallon = 231 cubic inches
So the pot holds 4.9 gallons. Please understand that the pot measurements are approximate. We are confident that it actually holds 5 gallons.
1/26/2008 -- I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

4/4/2007 -- Is your 12 gallon pot big enough to boil 10 gallon batches and all grain brewing and what is the revolution cooker. thanks.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Like with so many things, I have to say...it depends.
The 12 gallon pot is certainly large enough to boil 10 gallons. FIGURE, however, that you lose about 1.5 to 2 gallons to evaporation during and hour long boil of this size. That really gets you to about 8 or 8.5 gallons after the boil, and after fermentation (losses due to sediment, . . .

Take a look around!
10/8/2004 -- I am a novice and have only brewed 3 5 gal. batches. My instructions say to boil 2 to 2.5 gallons of wort. Am I correct in reading that you suggest to boil the entire 5 gallons?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Correct. No idea where you got those instructions, but we recommend boiling the full 5 gallons (or more).
Using a small brewpot (or less than a full volume boil) causes a "concentrated boil", if you will. Many inexpensive "kits/recipes" put this in their instructions, but it is bad advice.
This concentrated, sugary mixture will easily . . .
