is ideal for boiling 6.5 gallons of wort? What I mean is, I suppose there is sort of an optimum size. Two big and it's too cumbersome to lift, won't fit right on burner stand, etc. Too small and you get too many boilovers. So, I guess what I'm saying is what is the smallest size that is "comfortable" to fit a full boil in it?
My currentl kettle is the aluminum one that came with my turkey fryer kit. It's not really too bad a pot except that it only just barely holds the whole boil. I don' know if I can get more than 6 gallons in it. (Part of the problem is that the rivets on the handle on one side leak, so if I fill it up above them wort runs down the outside onto the burner).
There seem to be some 9 gallon SS kettles around that would fit well on my burner. Would that be a good size?
