I was looking at the 10 gallon Boilermaker but worried the grain bag would take up too much space. I am also concerned the 15 gallon would be too large and the wort level may drop below the thermometer late in the boil.
Most people use a 10-12 gallon pot for 5 gallon BIAB batches. I use a 44 qt (11 gallon) Bayou Classic pot for BIAB and the largest starting volumes I ever start with are around 7.2 gallons, so there is always plenty of space.
Good luck!
wilserbrewer said:10 gallons is a good size IMO...even w/ a 20 lb grainbill you can strike w/ oveer 8 gallons and collect over 6 w/ a full infusion. For huge beers you might consider a dunk sparge as well...then you have plenty of pot.
10 is the perfect size for normal gravities, and for huge beers a dunk sparge will help w/ efficiency.
