Thanks for all the responses. @Sammy86 that's exactly what I was thinking too. 65L it is.

I've skimmed most of this thread. I'm trying to decide between the 35L and the 65L. I plan on doing mostly 5 gallon batches but like the idea of being able to do bigger beers. Does the 65L work well on 5 gallon batches? I'm coming from a typical 3 vessel propane setup.

A good vinegar soak will help get rid of the soapy residue. Just be sure to rinse really well. I use oxy-clean free to get rid of any gunk left in boil kettles, fermenters, corny kegs, etc. A little goes a long way, and just let it soak. Again, rinse really well. On brew day, I sanitize...

I just did a Citra Pale Ale, real simple grain bill, and used California Ale V. I think it turned out great. I feel like it gave that extra hint of fruity I was hoping for.

I want to shore up the whirlpool return to my immersion chiller and was just going to tie it on with copper picture frame wire. Just want to make sure this type of wire is okay to use in the boil kettle. Here's a pick of the stuff.

I'd like one please

Just ordered my 2 faucet pin lock kit yesterday. I emailed a quick question about something before ordering, and you guys responded in less than 5 minutes. Truly awesome. Can't wait to get kegging!
