I've been using an 11gal Bayou Classic kettle for BIAB - but have run into serious issues trying to do 10 gallon batches of imperial beers. I have to mash with only 60% of the water, top up, etc (NOT FUN).
So, I want to go big. I'm eyeing the 25gallon version of the same kettle, as the basket is really helpful for pulling up the grains. Any problems with this? I was thinking getting the 25 gal over the 20 gal as perhaps I could fit a 15 gallon batch of low gravity beer. What do you think?
