Hi all, what is the smallest size brewing pot I can get away with for doing a partial extract? I currently have a 2gallon pot? Would this do?
It must be remembered here that this is a partial boil,not a full boil of smaller volume. Top off water will be added in the FV to final volume. So getting a good boil of as much volume as possible in the BK works quite well. 3 gallon boils are best in the right size BK for a partial.
Cheers people. It seems that a 4 or 5 gal is best suited. I have a gas stove. Having a burner and doing it in the garden is not an option as in England it rains a lot lol.
Also as I'm researching as much about partial boiling before I go ahead, I see u need 1 quart per 1 lb of grains so if I'm only using 3lbs all tgather then a assume a 2 gallon pot is suitable?
