Hey all. So I'm getting prepared to brew my first batch. I'm somewhere in the middle of obtaining all the supplies and I've hit a speed bump with the kettle. Eventually I would like to do AG brews so I'd like to get some lasting equipment right at the start.
I have a 21 qt Granite-Ware pot (a recent gift so I could return it) but the problem is that the stove which I'll be doing the boiling is a glass top and the pot has a ridged bottom so heating will be an issue.
I've been researching the turkey fryer option and it seems much better, as in faster boiling times, not being in the kitchen, rolling boils easier, etc.
Here are my questions: I'd like to avoid aluminum kettles so should I spring for a SS fryer kit?
If the pot is big enough will I have to do much upgrading later for an AG setup?
Should I just look for a individual burner unit so I use my Granite-Ware?
As you can see I'm pretty new here so any input would be swell.
