I'm using a 100L SS BK. I fly sparge in my 80L thermopot and even doing the make high strength dilute in FV trick I am over filling the BK every time. I don't have the stamina to do a double batch and would like at some point to update BK capacity.
However, the 100L pots were cheap under £70 any size up and the cost jumps, Mr.Lards 200L is £175 ?+del and can't many others.
(wonder how much a custom would cost ?)
Is there any other cheap pots out there at 130/150/170/200L ????
I actually have a spare 70L but that just adds to hassle, maintenance, cleaning, space, so not consider 'twin' BK
BK over 100L without breaking the bank ?

Re: BK over 100L without breaking the bank ?
Once you get over the 100 litre volume size things become a lot more expensive, MrL is IMO a cheap source for the larger sizes or in my case I picked up a 150ltr bargain on EBay (but I had to wait months for one to surface)

The only really cheep option for a cheep 200L boiler is to find a old stainless hot water tank, i found a 240L one on a drunken night out, i cut the top of it and its now a HLT.
luckily i cant remember where i found it so cant take it back
otherwise its had in pocket time
