Hello brewers!
New guy here. Have been out of homebrewing for 7 years but am starting up again and almost have all my equip in line to start doing 10gal batches.
Here's my question:
I have an extra (long story, but it was free ) 60qt stainless kettle (one like these: Update International 60 Qt. Stainless Steel Pot with Sandwich Bottom - UPI-SPS-60 - SPS-60 at Wares Direct) and don't know what to do with it.
My options are:
1) Direct fired mash tun
2) HLT
3) Sell it.
I'm going to be insulating my boil kettle anyway, so insulating a second pot would be no problem. I'm leaning toward option #2 as that would be the most practical. However, I like the potential flexibility offered by #1...but, honestly, I've got enough toys and I could use the $$ (hence option #3)...ah, decisions...
So let me have it. Gimme the answer
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
-David
