Thinking if upgrading next year to biab. If I were to make ten gallon batches, is 15 gallon pot big enough or should I spend the extra money for a 20 gallon pot? Thanks
I'd suggest that you get the biggest pot you can afford. It's one of the single most expensive items in your brewery. Better to get a bigger pot now than to wish you did later.
No way, you will have a boil over mess! Your going to be too close to the top with your pre-boil mash. 10 gall0ns to keg, 1 gal boil off, 1 gal loss to fermenting and trub. That's at least 12 gallons your going to boil, ha ha good luck!
Rule of thumb is: your pot needs to be twice the size of your batches. so 10 gallon batch = 20 gallon pot. I do 10 gallon batches in a 15 gallon pot all the time, but you better be siting with your hand on the valve to avoid a boil over. Only reason I don't have a 20 gallon pot is I bought the 15 gallon one first and now I don't have the $$$. :-\
