So, I adopted a pot from a relative, that looks to be about 3 gallons. I'll measure it in a bit, and update this post.
I have read on many different directions (including the one that came with my extract brewing kit). They say you can use a 3 gallon, 5 gallon, and even a 7.5 gallon brew pot.
I don't have the extra money right now to buy a bigger pot, SWMBO would be VERY upset if I spend more money, and have no beers to show for it yet.
If I use this 3 gallon pot, how should I go about this? Do half, cool, pour into carboy, do the other half, cool, pour on top of whats in the carboy?
It's a 5 gallon batch I purchased from MoreBeer (American Wheat).
