Full Boil Brews AND EVENTUAL ALL GRAIN 5 GALLON

AWKBrewing13 · Oct 20, 2011

hey guys whats up? I was looking at kettles and stoves for doing full extract boils and also for eventual AG boils (both would be boil a 6.5 or so amount and boil off down to 5 gallon).

What is a good stove and size kettle I should look at getting that I wont grow out of for a while.

I have made the mistake of buying equipment without consulting the experts (you guys)

Can't go wrong with a 10 gallon kettle but I would say a bare minimum of 8 gallons. I have a 10 gallon kettle and a Bayou Classic SP10 burner and can't complain. I boil about 7.5 gallons.

I just bought a second kettle to do side by side 5 gal batches and went with this: http://m.webstaurantstore.com/32-qt-heavy-duty-stainless-steel-stockpot-with-cover/922SSPOT35.html

My existing one is 30 qt and works great for 60-90 min boils. I have a bayou classic and also ordered a second of those.

i was looking at the SP-10. they have it on amazon with a immersion chiller and a 36 quart turkey fryer for 160 shipped I think.

Thoughts? Id probably swap out for a 50 foot chiller because I already have two, one of which will go to my brother most likely

i use 2 SQ-14s and can't be happier.. i have keggles and they support the full weight of them on there nicely.. i actually started with a very similar pot that TwoGunz suggested (from the same store actually, we have a brick and morter locally) and it worked well.. once i got my keggles that has been downgraded to a soup/corn cooker

The SP-10 is the same price if not cheaper than the SQ-14. Whats the BTU rating on each. Im having problems finding anything

Adventures in Homebrewing (website and LHBS) has a two weld 9 gallon kettle for 80. Then I could get the brass spigot and thermometer for it.

Do you guys think 9 gallon would be good for 5 gallons batches of all grain ???

What stove would be good. The SQ-14? the SP-10? How long does it take them to reach a boil???
