Kettles

Kettles Kettles Kettles everywhere.

In 2014/2015 I saw an emergence of kettle offerings.  Potentially it was because I was just paying attention more, but I do believe that there has been an increase in competitive offerings in the space.  This is good news for home brewers.  The table below gives a snap shot of suppliers and prices.  I’ll augment this section with some commentary over time.
