I already brewed my first 5 gallon batch. I didn't know exactly how big of a kettle I needed . I ended up using a 12 quart stock pot because it was all I had and i was so eager to start(my mistake). Needless to sY i had a lot of boil over. I just bought a 32 quart kettle with thermometer and valve ....this should be sufficient for a typical 5 gallon batch right? Any and all suggestions welcome
 
You should be good for extract batches and lower gravity all grain too as long as you watch it, fermcap is nice too. I have a 7.5 gallon and do all grain, but have to watch it pretty close. Bigger is better but you'll be fine.
