I know there are a ton of threads on the BG12, I've been reading them.

It seems like everyone loves them for a MLT.

I do BIAB. I currently use a 40qt Aluminum pot with the SP10. Works fine, but controlling mash temp is not that easy. Boiling is a piece of cake with the SP10.

I'm looking at building a system similar to fortydegnorth.

I would like the flexibility to do 5 and 10 gallon brews. Down the road I would like the ability to add some automation to the system as well.

Is the BG12 capable of bringing 14 gallons of wort to a boil in a reasonable amount of time? Or 16 gallons of water to mash temps quickly?

One of the main reasons I'm thinking of going to some 10 gallon batches is time saving. I simply do not have the time to brew often enough.

Should I really be considering the BG14 instead (or is it overkill)?

Thank you

Chris
