After getting my feet wet with four MB brews, I have just purchased all of the equipment needed to go to 5 gallon batches (gonna be making a Hefeweizen). I was planning on using the aluminum pot that came with my turkey fryer but according to the owner of my LHBS he said that this could lead to a metalic taste to the beer and stated that a SS pot was the only way to go. From what I've seen on here, many people brew with aluminum brew pots with no ill effects so i'm not sure I agree that stainless is the ONLY way to go. Looks like I can get a 16 qt. SS pot for about $12 but I thought this may be too small. But all this aside, my question is what size brew pot should I get IF I decide to get a SS pot?
Thanks for the help!
