I was going to give away an extra 10 gallon kettle I had lying around to someone local but wanted to make sure I don’t need it in the future.
I currently brew all grain with a different 10 gallon kettle and a rubbermaid mash tun. I also have a separate 10 gallon brew pot that just sat there on my last brew because I used a bucket and the other two pieces of equipment.
Can you think of any reason I would need an additional 10 gallon kettle?
if you ever might convert a kettle to electric mash tun. but living in florida, id be brewing propane outdoors and loving it.
You never know. I’d hang on to it. If you give it away–which is a nice gesture–you’ll be looking around, scratching your head, saying, where did I put that thing.
On the other hand, if you can use it to turn a friend on to brewing, you’ll be making the world a little better.
Sometimes I use another kettle for decoction mashes.
I’ve used a second boil kettle to boil down first runnings while still collecting the wort in the main kettle.
I collected too much wort once and boiled it down in two pots to save time.
You may want to brew one day and have a low country boil at the same time.
Just typing out loud…
I almost got rid of mine. It is now my grant/hopback/small batch kettle. Keep it IMO
