I need to start off by saying that I am cheap! I have been brewing partial mash for years. But, I have wanted to improve my brew by going all grain. But my perceived complexity of the process and equipment requirements have always stopped me. Also, remember I am cheap, equipment costs more money!
So, I have a basic question related to BIAB. I was able to get a turkey fryer with a basket from Sams. It is a 36 quart fryer. The BTUs are adequate to get a boil. But, I am not sure that 36 quarts is large enough for a 5 gallon batch of beer.
Is 36 quarts large enough, or should I return the fryer and keep brewing partial mash until I find a bigger pot???
Thanks for any info that will help me get started on BIAB.
