so jealous of this set up

So I've been homebrewing for over a year now. I've only been doing partial mashes on my gas stove top (Ive been doing very well in competitions lately). When I started brewing, I started to on a shoestring budget. I bought a cheap 5 gallon stock pot. It's worked great for me but the pot is...

I like the pot too, but I dont think Ive got the money for it.

my problem is that I already have my ingredients for my next brew. so maybe ill just use the large stock pot for 1 more partial brew before going to an outdoor burner and propane (anything is cheaper than electricity here)

I have a gas stove that has a massive burner. specifically for large stock pots (im part italian so I cook a lot of homemade pasta and thats why i chose the stove). It has an 18000+ BTU burner.

my kettle now needs to be trashed, its too flimsy. I need a new kettle asap. electric is too expensive here, thats why I use natural gas. If I go with this other kettle, I can do full boil BIAB with this bigger kettle. My current kettle is only 5 gallons. this one would be 10.

Update-International-APT-40-Aluminum-Stock thinking this is the pot ill use

I live in new england, brewing on my stove during winter is nice. I dont want to be brewing in my garage during winter. Plus, its AC in my house as compared to the garage during summer months. worried about flies/bugs when brewing outside.

how do I found out the weight limit for my stove top? I didnt take that into account for BIAB.

I prefer using natural gas stove. Electricity is damn expensive here.

great price but its too tall.

my current pot is 11 inches tall and 12.5 inches wide. I can go a little bigger than that but not too much. If I went with something as much as 14.5inches or wider, I dont think it would fit on the stove right and boil evenly because half the pot would be off the stove burner lol

ok thanks good to know

I thought aluminum wasnt as good as stainless?

thanks for the link. Is that pot thick enough ? My problem is my original brew pot was too thin and now feels flimsy.

yea problem is always budget. I can spend up to 100

So, Ive been brewing about a year and I started with a cheap pot for brewing. I need to replace it. Im a partial mash brewer and I use my stove top. I was thinking of switching to one of these: tall-boy-kettle-8-gallon or http://www.amazon.com/Update-International-SPS-20-Stainless-Steel/...

how big was the bottle you used?

How did you use the extract? added to bottling bucket?
