What Brew Pot to buy next?

If you haven't, also check out bargain fittings.

I just feel like if anybody reccs a 8-10 gallon pot for an up and coming AG brewer,... that is like me telling you to get a BMX bike to go mountain bike single track riding. Sure you will save a few bucks but... You are going to out grow that bike real quick, and it isn't suited for your intentions.

Good call! I am looking at no smaller than a 15 gallon. That should be sufficient right?

MTBer and brewer? You have to be a good guy.

Ha!

Funny I saw your local and smiled. One of my brothers lives our in Seattle in the metro area. He loves getting out for a rip as well. He has been into it for a long time, so he has me on his equipment ($2500 full suspension hot rod ha - I think it is a fuel?).

I just upgraded the the trek 4500 disc (~$800), still a newbie bike by some standards I guess! But I am newer to MTB (but love it). I have been a pretty serious trad rock climber for years and years though. Harder to climb where I live now, which really sucks.


craig_reed I think 15G is ideal for AG 5 and 10G batches. the only reason to step up from there is if you really start taking on quantity (15g and up sized batches).

From B.C. through Oregon this definitely is a MTB mecca. My wife and I used to have 11 bikes between us. Now it's down to 4. I've got an EVIL hardtail, Knolly Endorphin, and Turner Highline. She's likely getting a Trek Remedy next spring. Just another addiction... :cross:

Yup they are all deadly!

Bend OR is awesome. We went out there and tipped just under 30 miles and it felt like 10 because there was so much variability. Unreal single track.

Due to brewing, I didn't have the extra coin to spend on the bike, had to fight to get my trek hardtail. But I love it.

There are a bunch of places in BC I have heard about that are supposed to be awesome back woods trad climbing.... someday...

For the record - I love it out in all those areas. What put in OR was smith rock: awesome climbing the monkey face, 350ft spire:
