Minimum size pot for your boil?

[GoldMiner]

Do you do 10 gallon boils with that 11 gallon pot? That would be impressive.

Of course not.

I would have gone with a larger pot if I was doing 10 gallon boils.

What's important here is that while alot of folks get by on smaller pots , 10gal is a safe and best recommendation for 5 gal boys. Especially if you decide to do a higher gravity beer and need to collect more or boil longer like for a pilsner.

This is inexpensive if you don't mind aluminum:
