Hi Guys,
I am very very new to homebrewing and have just ordered my beer kit. I want to dive straight into BIAB and need to be sure I buy the right boiler pot. I am from South Africa and it seems that getting hold of a decent pot for cheap is not really possible. I want to brew at least 5 gallons of BIAB and understand that i'll need at least a 10 gallon pot for this.
Now my real question is, will attached picture of a 10 gallon pot be sufficient? My concern is really that the pot is not high enough, and is too wide for a single burner. The "turkey fryer" or as it is known in South African, "stock pot", sells for at least double the price as what you can get the attached pot for.
The dimensions of the pot is 49cm (L) x 48cm (W) x 27cm (H).
I can also get a 13.2 gallon version of it for slightly more...with the dimensions 48cm (L) x 48cm (W) x 30cm (H).
I am trying to really keep my costs down as I have not even started my first batch, but at the same time don't want to waste money if I am just going to end up buying a proper boiler pot.
You help is really appreciated guys!
Regards
Grant
