Hello,
I recently bought equipment to brew 10 gallon batches (14 gal kettles)
except a hot liquor tank. This is my first time doing an all grain batch too.
I decided to use my existing 8gal kettle and convert it to a HLT by drilling and adding a spigot to it.
Now I am doubting whether I'll have sufficient water boiling capacity to brew a 10 gallon batch with it.
Before I make an investment on a drill bit and spigot, I would like to get some feedback as to whether using an 8gal kettle will be enough water for a 10 gallon batch.
Thanks!
Damian
