I'll be getting a 60 quart (that's 15 gallons) or 80 quart (20 gallons) aluminum pot.
I picked up an 8 gallon aluminum pot, with lid, for about $45 not that long ago... It's great for 5 gallon batches. For about $75 (will post the actual price/total once I've picked it up) I'll be getting a 60 quart (that's 15 gallons) or 80 quart (20 gallons) aluminum pot.
Golddiggie said:Forgot to mention that I did condition/cure my aluminum pot before I was going to use it for brewing (a few days ahead)... I put as much water as I could into it, and boiled it for 30-60 minutes to get a nice black aluminum oxide coating on it... I plan on having a propane burner before I go to use the next (larger) pot, so I'll condition that with as much water as I can fit into it. I hope to only have under 2" of non-conditioned aluminum in the pot (from the top edge)... I can't imagine ever needing to fill it up to that level when using it for brewing. Well, at least not while I'm using it for 5 and 10 gallon batches.
So you're saying its approximately 4 quarts to a gallon (60 divided by 15 = approx. 4)? Cool!
Now when you cure it is the black on the outside or inside? And do I have to do this before I use it everytime?

Questions like that make me wonder if you're really asking it, or if you're trying to tug on our leg...
It's like asking "Is a yard approximately 3 feet long?"
So either you're messing with us, or your "senior year" of school was the 3rd grade...
Wow, Revvy, that was a very reserved anwer to this question. Im proud of you.
As for the 4 quarts to a gallon thing, I could understand not knowing metric cconversions, but gallons to quarts is something I thought everyone knew. I didnt actually think I read that.
Whoever said that thing about the brewpot made out of pubes, thanks for the new sig
I've always used SS pots for cooking, especially anything that contains higher acid levels (pasta sauce)
When I worked at a pizza joint in college, I was told to bake a lazagna in the oven with foil over the top. When I opened the oven 10 minutes later, the red sauce had dissolved the aluminum foil completely except for the edge where it was tucked under the pan. The surface of the lazagna was a bit gray. Gross.
Actually, I have a harder time with standard American units than I do metric units because in HS and college all that we ever used were metric units because science is an international thing, and teaching kids only American units is a disservice to them in this regard.
I can quickly tell you that 1 mcg/g is also 1 ppm, but I have no idea how many pints are in a gallon.
