I've been struggling with what size kettle makes the most sense so I thought I'd ask for input from the forum.
I mostly brew 10G batches but want to have capacity for 15G batches with a 90 minute boil on occasion. That boil volume exceeds what my 20G kettle can safely do so it's time to upgrade.
The question is; do I jump to 30G or meet in the middle with a 25/26G kettle? My knee jerk is for the 30G but I'm concerned that might be overkill for my usual 10G batches. (volume may be at or below thermometer port...)
Thoughts?
