Hi,
I am a fairly new brewer and have been doing most of my work on an electric coil type stove with a 3 gallon brew pot. I have been pleased with every batch so far. Our stove broke and we bought one of those ceramic top types. Since I have already had one boil over I am going to move my brewing outside. I was considering one of those turkey fry setups (like at Lowes) and my question is the following:
Given I have been using extract kits, should I use my 3 gallon pot on the gas burner as I have been doing or use the bigger 7.5 gallon pot for full boils if it can produce better results?
The kit I am doing next is an IPA. Here is the recipe:
6.6lbs plain light malt extract
1lb crushed crystal malt 60L
8oz crushed victory
2oz northern brewer
1oz cascade (finishing)
