Title: Looking to get some pot?
Post by: Two Wheeler on July 09, 2015, 10:05:34 AM: OBK has a really good sale on brew pots right now, up to $100 off their premium kettles.

The 16 Gallon stainless steel advanced pot for $119 is one of the best prices you'll get for a stainles pot of that size with ball valve and thermometer included. The weldless fittings wouldn't be my first choice, but I know MANY homebrewers use them without issue.

If you want to do 5gal it's no problem whatsoever (in fact it might be a little big... 10gal pot is probably lots). If you want to do 10gal BIAB batches 16gal pot is doable, but tight in my experience.

I BIAB with a 15gal pot and it works awesome for 5gal batches. 10gal can be done but you need to juggle a bit with a higher gravity beer.

Post by: shazapple on April 05, 2016, 08:57:50 AM: I'm pleased with my pot. It's more than enough for 5 gal batches. With the grain bag it sits at around 9 gal.
