I just brewed my 3rd batch of beer with my friend on Saturday. Now I'm looking to add to the equipment he already has.
Below I'm listing the equipment I'm looking to purchase and questions about it:
1. 15 gallon SS Brew Tech Kettle.
My friend and I are looking to do ten gallon batches since we are currently splitting our 5 gallon batches.

This kettle comes with a port for a thermometer, and I'm guessing it is this one that I need to buy https://www.ssbrewtech.com/products/copy-of-whirlpool-for-kettle-with-bulkhead
Just want to make sure before I pull the trigger
2. Auto-Siphon
My friend broke his when we brewed over the weekend and I'm not sure what size we were using.
Should I go with a 3/8 or 1/2 inch in diameter? AND what does the inner-diameter of the tubing need to be to fit these siphons?
3. 3 Gallon Glass Carboy
I'm looking to do some small batches in between big brew days. Currently I am using 5 and 6.5 gallon large mouth glass carboys.
For the 3 gallon carboys what size stopper will I need or does this vary from carboy to carboy?
I'm guessing all I will need in addition to the carboy is a stopper, airlock and funnel. Is that all?
4. This will probably be a couple brews out but I'm trying to talk my friend into kegging. I was thinking if we each bought a 3 gallon keg, we could keg 6 gallons from our batch and bottle the rest.
Can anybody recommend what keg to get. Should I get new or are used kegs ok too?
Last question: I've never shopped online for brew equipment. What websites would you recommend?
