brew kettle
Beer-making vessel
A brew kettle is a large vessel used in brewing beer, where wort (the liquid extracted from grain) is boiled with hops.
The boiling stage sterilizes the liquid and extracts bitterness and flavor from the hops.
Brew kettles range from small stovetop pots for homebrewing to massive stainless steel tanks in commercial breweries.
