After reading about how full boils are better than partial boils, particularly in terms of hops utilization and flavor, I'd really like to take advantage of it. I have an approximately 20 quart stockpot and a 16 quart pressure canner (that can be a pot without the lid, naturally). If I split the malt extract, hops, and other ingredients between the two pots, will I get the same results as doing a full boil in a big pot? Is it too much multitasking to stir/watch two pots at once?
I know the ideal would be to buy a turkey frier, but I really don't want to spend that much on a pot I won't use much outside of brewing. I'm more partial to smoking my birds, and I might be moving in a year. Having a bunch of equipment to sell/move will not make my mom happy (I'm a 20something brewer).
PS: Sorry if this had been asked before. A Google search for "two stockpots" wasn't very helpful.
