Hello. I have lurked on the boards for over a year now, but am now posting because I need some advice on choosing between 3 brew kettles.
I will be using this for AG's. I will be doing these in my kitchen on newer 5 burner natural gas stove (I live in a townhouse)...sometimes I will be able to use a propane burner when I brew at my friends, but 80% of the time in my kitchen.
1) 2 Weld SS 15 gallon w/therm & ball valve $185 shipped http://www.homebrewing.org/2-Weld-15-gallon-SS-Brew-Pot_p_2756.html - at least I could have the option of 10g batches at my friends, and wont have to worry about boil overs in my kitchen. but is this just too big?
2) 2 weld SS 9 gallon w/therm & ball valve $138 shipped.http://www.homebrewing.org/2-WELD-9-Gallon-Stainless-Steel-Brew-Pot-_p_1684.html I am afraid this will be too small and I will outgrow it/boilovers, but i do like the price and 2 welds.
3) 10.5 gallon SS with stainless stell ball valve $126 shipped.http://www.birdmanbrewing.com/42-qt-economy-graduated-brew-pot-w-stainless-ball-valve/ this is nice, but I would prefer a two weld.
I have been trying to decide for the past 2 weeks with no luck...
I think if there was a 10.5 gallon two weld in these price ranges I would choose that without a doubt...
Thanks in advance for any input
