|
|
I am looking to upgrade my keggle to a 20g boil kettle. I brew 6 gallon and 12 gallon batches (8 and 14g preboil) so my question is would a 20g kettle be over kill on a 6g batch? Yes, I do know that more beer is better but I like variety. When I do 12g batches its either a beer that goes fast or when brewing for a friend as well.
Im really tired of the boil over potential when doing 12g batches in my keggle.

Depends on a lot of factors but I brew 5.5 gallon batches from time to time in my 23 gallon kettle.
