Hello all!
I am an extract with grains brewer and am still cooking in the kitchen. I
currently use a 20qt (5 gal) brew kettle and typically boil 3 gal and then add 2
gal of water to the fermenter. I am very happy with the results so far but am
looking for places to make improvements where possible (without moving to
all-grain). My idea is to get a propane burner and larger kettle so that I can
boil my full wort all at once as well as move my "production facility" to the
patio or garage which would also make the wife happy. I was at Lowe's and found
a propane burner but then there were a few choices of kettle sizes - 30 qt (7.5
gal), (42 qt (10.5 gal), 60 qt (15 gal). What size would make the most sense?
The 30 qt would suffice for now but then I was thinking long term and that maybe
the larger sizes would be useable in an all-grain setup? Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks!
