    Shopping for my first brew pot. Knowing that I have a tendancy to jump head first into hobbies, I would rather get what I needed the first time and not have to upgrade later when I become obsessed.

    Example: Get a trunk instead of a humidor.

    Having said that ... what size brew pot should I purchase? I'm starting out with extracts but can definately see myself going more advanced in the future.

    Something like this??? Link

    Couldn't you just check out a restaurant supply store for an 8-Gal. stainless steel pot? What does the "brewpot" part add other than price?

    You would be better off with a superbrew pot over the economy. If you scorch your wort you're done. So the thicker bottom is a good idea.


    Also, I wouldn't worry about sight glass or thermometers but a ball valve is a must.

    Also their wort chillers are dam cheap. You are going to want one of those also.
