Hey all! New to the forum and I'm excited to find such a great resource. Well...the question has been posed many a time before here but I need some opinions.
I recently bought an 8 gallon aluminum brew pot to do specifically 5 gallon batches. I really don't see myself doing anything larger anytime soon. I'm stuck whether to take it back and get the 10 gallon for when I eventually start doing all-grain (right now doing extract). Should I just spend another $10 - $15 and get the 10 gallon?
I don't want to get anything bigger than I need BUT I need to take into account the size of the wort cooler fitting in the kettle, etc. It seems everyone has a different opinion about starting BIGGER but I never plan on doing 10 gallon batches. Although, I'm a little concerned about doing 90-minute boils in the 8 gallon. What say you? Thank you so much and cheers!
