So, I know there a million of these out there, but i'd like some fresh input. I mainly brew 5 gallon batches, but would like to do the occasional 10 gallon batch. (I'll also add that my 7 gallon kettle that I've used for the past 6 years is due for an upgrade). I'm looking at getting a 15 gallon kettle (probably from Stout Tanks). Is this to big to do 5 gallon batches on?
I have a spare keggle that I could use for the "once in a while" 10 gallon batch, if it would be better to go with a 10 gallon kettle for the 5 gallon batches. I guess my main concern would be in having 6-8 gallons of wort boiling in a 15 gallon kettle would make my evaporation rate go up.
Thanks all!
