Hello all!
I've been perusing the forum since Dec. and getting lots of great info, so now it's time to get my first post in...
I'm rather new to brewing (3 "boxed kit" batches done) and will be probably sticking with the brewing kits for quite a while.
I'll therefore probably never be having more than 6-7 gallons boiling at any one time. Is it ok to use a 7.5 gal keggle in this case?
I have an old 10gal/40qt. hand-me-down pot right now that works ok but I thought I might upgrade to a keggle. I have not had a boilover thus far and my boils have been rather "mellow", possibly because I am using a 35,000 btu propane burner. However I may upgrade this burner in the near future to a 100,000 btu natural gas-
Are any of you able to boil a double batch with the typical keggle? As in two 5-gal batches- I might be interested in doing that eventually, so maybe a 1/2 keg keggle will be the best size.
Thanks in advance!
