I am looking for a brew pot (new to homebrewing) online and have a question. Should I buy a 7 or 8 gallon if I plan to all grain in the future? I figure the answer to that question is yes (why not), but I am also wondering that when I get the, say, 35qt brewpot do I use all 5 gallons in the wort then transfer it to the primary or do I use less than 5 gallons and fill to the 5 gallon line in the primary. I'm not sure but from what I've read, using 6.5 gallons or so in the brewpot (to account for vaporization) is more of an all-grain tactic. Thanks.
