I have been brewing on 2 - 16 gallon Bayou Classic pots for a few year. Getting back into brewing and decided i wanted a better mashtun set up and i typically only ever brew 5 gallon batches, because by the time i kick the keg, i want something else to drink. SO i bought a 10 gallon boiler maker with false bottom for a mash tun and brewed on it last week - this thing is awesome. So much so it has me thinking i should upgrade my boil kettle... As i mentioned i typically always do 5 gallon batches. So should i just get another 10 gallon for my boil kettle or should i go with 15 gallon for boil over protection... What size boil kettle do most people use for 5 gallons?
Also - what is the benefit of convertible a keg to a boil kettle? Is there a benefit or is it just because you can get cheap stainless with a keggle?
