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.
