So my birthday is coming up soon and my girlfriend decided to buy me a new brewpot (yes it's true love!) so I can do full boils instead of partial.
I told her I would like an 8 gallon brewpot so she was going to get me the 8gal. Megapot from northern brewer (NORTHERN BREWER: Brew Kettles) Right now I only have a 4gal. pot that frequently boils over.
So anyway, I am really enjoying brewing, really getting into it, and was wondering if it was worth the investment to get the kettle with the ball valve and thermometer for more $$$ as opposed to just getting the standard thing and using a floating thermometer.
I am assuming the valve is also extremely useful when doing partial mashes and such (I only do extract so far, still new!).
So yes, thoughts?
