I still brew in my kitchen on the stove. Its a gas stove and I can do up to about 7.5 gallons no problem. That being said, I am looking to get a new economical kettle. I don't want to spend a lot right now since hopefully when I move I will get a whole brewing system and not be kitchen brewing anymore. I never brew more than 6 gallon batches at a time.
