I have a bayou classic 10gallon kettle and have probably done close to 15 brews with it. I personally think it works great, and everything seems to be holding up. I want to get a 15 gallon kettle to use as a brew pot and use the bayou classic as a hot liquor tank. Was doing some research and...

I tasted it. Tastes fine. There's so much chocolate, coffee and bourbon that it's hard to pick up any off flavors. Might bottle this thing anyway. Can't admit defeat. Thanks for the feedback.

****, that was an expensive one. Yeah I lost a lot of volume to the chocolate, coffee and nibs; hence the head space. Do you guys think I came adding the adjuncts at flameout?

Here's a close up

Trying to brew a KBS clone recipe I got from byo. A lot of people who Brewer the same beer commented that they had problems with infection. It calls for bakers chocolate and nibs at flameout. I was suspicious of this because I didn't think it would sanitize if only At boiling temp for a minute...

Finally, great f'n idea. Thanks.

Also need the bucket to do another brew.

Should have specified. I'm lagering.

My homebrew shop recommended I use marbles to decrease the amount of headspace in my secondary. I thought it was a good idea but I'm concerned with what type of marbles to use. I don't know, the ones at the dollar store from china that "may contain a water soluble coating" raised suspicion. Does...

Welcome to upstate

What are you? Siberian?

Good call.

Just a follow up, took it out of the fridge raised the temp to 61f using a swamp cooler. Thing went bonkers for 2 days and hit my fg at 1.013. Gonna start lagering.

Physically it fits on the stove. I have a 5 gallon pot I do partial mashes on, but I like the spigot and thermometer on my new 10. Just wondering if the surface area matters to achieve a boil.

I plan on using a 10 gallon kettle for all grain but was just wondering if I could effectively boil 3 gallons in it on a stove top or is there some reason I'm unaware of in which the size of the pot matters? Besides weight

You guys get it worse than we do. (Albany area)

I guess I should rephrase my question. Is there a difference between boiling 2.5 gallons in a 4 gallon pot vs a 10 gallon pot?

Don't mind the buying the outdoor burner, it's the outside that bothers me. Snowed today. Crazy New York.

Going to take the next step and try all grain. I live in the northeast and will continue to do partial mashes during the winter. I Would like a kettle that would work for both methods. My question is, can I do 5 gallon full boils in a 10 gallon kettle on a stove top (glass, flat top)? Or does...
