My brew buddy and I have been using an 8g boil kettle to do our 5g AG batches. This has worked ok, but takes a lot of attention to get a proper boil going without a boil over. We are thinking of moving to a bigger kettle in the 20-25g range. The plan is to move to 10g or maybe even 15g batches and to also slowly build a three vessel HERMS or RIMS system. So if needed this kettle could become a HLT or MLT in the future.
My question is would a 25g kettle be way to big for our 5-10g batches? The price difference between the 20g and 25g is only $20 so i am thinking bigger is better.
thanks in advance for your input.
