Bought this for the laminated bottom for decoction brewing. Had another that didn't have a laminated bottom and it was difficult keeping the mash from scalding. This one solved the problem. Just wish I could get a larger one so i don't have to do a double but this one will do. If you have never done a decoction, you should, it makes a huge difference in your conversion as well as the taste, it really brings the malt forward as well as increases the over-all flavor from the increased melanodins.
