Upgrade Advice Needed

[traviswalken]

I am currently brewing 5 gallon all grain batches on my stove. I have a very powerful cook top, so it works okay. I would like to move my brewing outside and would also like the option to brew 10 gallon batches.

Here is my current setup:
-8.5 gal Turkey Fryer w/valve
-52 quart cooler
-25' x 3/8" wort chiller
-Bayou Classic propane burner (I haven't used it yet)

I currently use my turkey fryer as the HLT and BK.

Pieces to add:
-15 gallon kettle or keggle
-Propane burner
-DIY brew rig to move water/wort by gravity

Am I missing anything? Is the turkey fryer large enough to work as HLT on 10 gal batches? Will I need to upgrade my wort chiller?

Thanks.

I'd recommend a 15 gallon HLT, 15-20 gallon mash tun and a 20 gallon kettle.

I'd go with a 1/2"x50' wort chiller

You can do everything with gravity but a pump might make more sense.

I like your advice, I just don't think SWMBO would appreciate a $500 brewing purchase!

I decided to bite the bullet and bought a 15 gal keggle with 2 welded ports! I will give the new system a try this weekend.
