Aluminum Stock Pot

I disagree. I'm still new here, but it's common sense to search for an answer these days before asking the same question over and over. I'm betting that 99% of new people joined here after searching Google multiple times for answers to their home brew questions, so is it really farfetched to ask the same people to search? If such repetitive threads are kept to a minimum, the more unique threads will get more of the attention they deserve.

I agree to an extent, but the point was that it isn't a reason to dispense with politeness and civility.

At the same time I slightly disagree, because sometimes old topics need a makeover, especially if there have been changes in attitudes, opinion, methods, etc. in the meantime. Also, old topics tend to drift and go off topic easily, so finding what you're looking for in a thread containing hundreds of posts can sometimes be futile. That's a general observation and isn't aimed at any topics or even forums in particular, whether it's brewing, photography, flower arranging or flamingo breeding.

It's funny to finally run across a thread like this. You guys are very mature here,,,,,,go over to http://www.hdforums.com/forum/general-harley-davidson-chat-29/ and ask about chaps, fingerless gloves, which is the best oil, which are the best pipes, etc, etc, etc, and you'll get flamed big time. Yeah it does get old when a FNG asks about, what are the best riding boots, I just ignore them or give an answer to the best of my knowledge, because we all know there are no "best riding" boots. What is the best aluminum pot?

The biggest one you can get that fits in the kitchen sink for cooling :-D Imagine taking your shiny new pot, full of hot wort, off the stove, carrying it over to the sink and going "oh crap"! Only applies to stove top brewers who haven't yet invested in an immersion chiller, of course.

Yeah, I know ;-) But I thought I'd use it to recount the tale of how I *nearly* made a massive, fundamental schoolboy equipment error.
