    New Brewpot - how should I invest?

    Oh boy hah! Luckily, we both think marriage is kind of dumb. We are also both very handy, we decided if we were going to get married we would do something a bit unconventional, like carving eachother rings from wood or something like that. Also, the girl LOVES beer. We're brewing her first...

    New Brewpot - how should I invest?

    Yeh, I totally understand. That was sort of my thought process for getting the 24 as well. Keep doing my 5 gallon batches while getting ready and building for the big stuff. If i get the 40qt can i still do 5 gal. batches on an electric stove, or will this be an issue. I feel like I am just...

    New Brewpot - how should I invest?

    Thanks Mike. Actually, as I was about to ask you something, I realized my own answer. I was going to say chilling isn't the issue, but getting it back inside to ferment. Then I realized, stupid me, that I will not be using a 15gal. glass carboy, but I can just fill this outside and take my 3...

    New Brewpot - how should I invest?

    New Brewpot - how should I invest?

    Thanks for all the good feedback, time for round #2! So, the consensus seems to be think for the future, get a bigger one with a valve and get a burner. Right now I am doing it on an electric stove (AHHH!), so I guess I couldn't even do the 7-8 gallon boil, at least not without 2 free hours...

    New Brewpot - how should I invest?

    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)...
