So far I've done two extract batches. For each, I boiled about 2.25 gallons worth of water in a 12 quart pot. I'd like to get a larger pot to make my life easier.
I live in a small apartment and I'm restricted to using an electric stove. I would eventually like to start doing full boils, is that feasible? If so, I was thinking I should probably get a 30 quart pot. Does that sound about right? Also, would a 30 quart pot containing 20 quarts of wort comfortably fit a wort chiller?
Let's say I get a 30 quart pot and discover that my stove cannot boil five gallons of water at once. Would it be to my detriment to use the 30 quart pot for partial boils? In other words, would it be a problem to boil the wort in a pot at 1/3 capacity?
Thanks!
