I am planning to buy this setup, but not sure if I want the 62qt or 82qt. I only plan to do 5 gallon batches, but I want to be able to brew any 5 gallon batch. Is 82qt overkill? If I were to do a high gravity 5g batch in the 62qt, would the mash/boil be close to the top of the kettle? I will be brewing in the basement, so a boil over cannot happen.
Also, I noticed that one post mentioned efficiency. Can I get some others to post their experiences with efficiency? Based on the gravity of the brew, could Beersmith adjust the expected efficiency? Or would I have to manually adjust the efficiency when designing the recipe based on the gravity?
Thanks!
