I've been looking for a bigger stainless steel pot so that I can eventually do 5 gallon all grain batches and the most affordable option I can find are half barrel kegs (yes, they're legally obtained.)
My question is if a 15.5 gallon brew pot would be too big for 5 gallon batches? Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using a brew pot where you're only boiling in a third of the pot? Should I hold off on using a half barrel as a keg/mlt until I want to do 10 gallon batches?. Thanks.
