I use this for homebrewing. I yield 20gal batches of all grain with this stock pot. The pot is well made and the handles are riveted very securely. I was worried that the steel wouldn't be thick enough but after my first batch, I realized that it was just fine.
If you are using this for homebrewing, here are some things to keep in mind:
Put a ballvalve on it. You are never going to move this pot once it has over 10gal of liquid in it. It will be stationary from the minute you fill it until you drain it.
Use a counterflow chiller. You are never going to chill 20gal with an immersion chiller.
Use a burner that will be stable with this much weight on it. Many burners can sway or buckle under this much weight.
Use a burner that can generate enough energy to bring 20+ gallons to a rolling boil. Your basic turkey fryer burner might not be powerful enough. I use the Bayou Classic.
Keep an eye on your propane tank. When you are pulling propane out of the tank rapidly, the tank will begin to freeze over. When this happens the burner might blow itself out. You may need two propane tanks so you can swap them out every 30mins or so. My ambient temp was around 45 degrees farenheit and this happened a few times.
Make sure that your ball valve is higher than your fermenter so that you can let gravity drain your stock pot. I had to put my burner on top of cinder blocks. Otherwise, use a high temp food grade pump(march or chugger).
Overall I am very happy with this product. I would reccomend it for homebrewing. As you probably know, stainless steel pots of this size can cost 3 times as much.

After only eight months of use this pot developed a pinhole along the seam. Although the pot was out of warranty, the company, upon learning of the problem, made an immediate free replacement. This is the kind of customer service that goes above and beyond expectations.Best Deals for Concord 100 Quart Stainless Steel Stock Pot Cookware
The pot is big. In hindsight, 18 gauge may be a bit thin for holding this much liquid, but I would just not attempt to move the pot when full, however I don't think I could if I tried. Its stainless, tested by solder adhering to it. It would have been nice to know how tall it would be before buying, but I could not find the dimensions. For the record, it is ~22" tall with lid and ~20" without. Is diameter is about 20".Your hole bit will cut through this if you want to add valves.
