I did my first AG this weekend. I'd been moving closer the last few weeks to the point where my last batch used 11 lbs of grain and then some DME to pad my OG due to low efficiency.
Well this weekend I just did the grain and decided to live with my OG whatever it was (and of course I forgot to measure it), but it came down to the decision to do a two-step boil, which I've done and don't necessarily care to do again due to the time requirements, or a concentrated boil. I went the concentrated route but I know that affects my efficiency as well since I don't have enpough water through the mash and sparge.
Long story short, I need a new pot. I've seen the Mega pots on NB and they look really good. Does anyone know where else I could find good, quality pots. Inexpensive, good , quality pots.
Thanks for any input.
