You definitely have to wait for sales on NB and Midwest, but there are great deals to be had from them. I like Morebeer as their prices seem pretty good everyday and free shipping too!

it doesnt have a tri-clad base and the reviews are not great about the valve.

The Anvil kettles also caught my eye. They look like a good value and one of my LHBS is a retailer. http://www.anvilbrewing.com/category-s/100.htm

I end up dumping too much beer when I make 5 gallon batches. I dont have enough friends who like craft beer to help me drink it. Couldn't I always just use a pound or two of extract in addition to the grain if I wanted to do a 5 gallon batch? Do you guys use a wort chiller for 3 gallon...

8 gallon is as big as I want to go. I think I have it narrowed down to these options: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008G3PAXK/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 http://www.midwestsupplies.com/megapot-1-2-kettle-8-gal.html

i just did a batch but used grapefruit peel instead of the lemon/orange. hopefully it tastes good

i do stovetop but also have a propane burner that I've yet to use because my current kettle is too small and flimsy. Are the bayou classic kettle's tri-clad on the bottom? does that matter? I was also looking at the update intl kettles and the tall boy from northern brewer.

it is about 1oz of orange and 1oz of lemon peel

I havent really seen any 7 gallon kettles and I was hoping I could get away with a 6 gallon. Do you think that would be OK if I was only doing session beers around 5% ABV? Also is there a preference for shape of kettle? would I be better off with a tall skinny kettle or a short and wide kettle?

right now i'm doing extract only and have found that 2.5-3.5 gallon batches are the sweet spot for my needs. I'd like to upgrade my kettle from the generic $30 5 gallon one i have now and would like the option to try BIAB sometime down the road.
