So, I'm currently using a 8-L pot me and my roommate borrowed from a friend. It's tiny though, so we want to upgrade. How large do I want? I'm not sure if my electric stove has enough power to accommodate a whole 5-gallon boil, but what do you guys think a good size should be for some guys making mostly-extract beer in their apartment's kitchen?
I found a 21.5 qt pot that looks pretty solid (it's for canning, but that seems similar enough to boiling wort).
Also, a no-frills 16 qt stock pot
I like that they're ceramic coated, but I imagine stainless steel is just as good? I don't like the idea of aluminum though.
We're looking to spend as little money as possible (college students), do you guys think these pots will have the right capacity, not burn out wort, etc.?
Thanks!
