I got a $200 gift card as a directors award for a project I worked on. I want to buy a new brew pot but I have a couple of questions.
I currently do 5gal extract batches, but I'm planning on moving to partial, and then all grain in the coming year or sooner. I would like to have the versatility to do full boils for 5 gal batches as well as 10gal batches. Originally I was considering a 40Qt stainless pot from Bayou Classic (~$75), but now I'm considering the new Brewhemoth pot (16+ gal, $140) that was announced a couple weeks ago.
Is there any reason I couldn't/shouldn't do a 5gal batch in such a big pot? Also I would plan to modify it with a sight glass and thermometer in the future, but I hear we can get custom fabs if we wanted.
Thanks for the input!
