I've been searching this forum as well as google searches and have not been able to find an answer to this.
I have read a lot of folks saying go big so you don't have to buy again later however my question is how small a batch can I brew in a large kettle ? A 3 gallon batch in a 15 gallon pot,is that too little/too large ?
I can see myself brewing 5 gallon batches often but have many friends that brew and see myself brewing 10 gallon w/ them from time to time,I would really like to be able to brew more often in smaller batches (3 gallon) through my learning curve.
This also has been a problem in trying to figure out what to buy for a wort chiller...
I have no problem spending the cash to do things right (to a degree) and have been looking at The Morebeer 15 gallon pot or the 8 gallon pot,unfortunately they do not have a 10 gallon which I have found the polar-ware (42 qt)brew pot for $209.
