I plan on brewing an extract based IPA recipe tomorrow and like most of the extract brews that I have done it calls for a boil size of less than 5 gal which was fine when I used a 3 gal SS pot. I plan on using a 6 gal aluminum pot to do my boil tomorrow so could I put 5.5 gal of water in the aluminum pot (allowing .5 gal for boil down) and perform all of the other actions that I normally do separately (i.e. seeping in a separate pot, boiling 3 gallons of wort in the 3 gal pot, adding 2 gal of water to the primary prior to pouring in the wort) in the 6 gal aluminum pot? Thanks, Montanaandy
