For a 5 gal batch, you will want a large brewpot (~7.5 gal minimum) and a way to heat it effectively (stovetop is fine, if your stove can handle the weight...no ceramic cooktops.) Don't forget that this will require a rather long spoon to stir.
If you wind up doing full boils,you'll need a wort chiller. An ice bath can't handle cooling that much wort.Thanks everyone for the help. I have an out door propane burner that I use for crawfish boils so the heat source is not a problem. two more questions. Do I need a wart chiller or is that something I can live without for a while?
Sorry pressed send to early. What the difference between all grain and extract?
