Fryer for boils

(1/5) > >>

GolfBum:
I am switching to all grain and therefore want to be able to do full boils. Through my research on the internet I saw that most of them come with 7.5 gallon pots. I have heard/read that boil overs will happen a lot and that I should get a bigger pot. I would like to save some money on buying a seperate pot so does anyone know where I can get a bigger pot that comes with a propane fryer for a decent price? Links would be appreciated.

I used a 7.5gal fryer pot for a long time before upsizing my pot.  There were a few boilovers, but with a lot of attention and using some anti-foam (fermCapS) that problem can be dealt with.

It was just another step in the progression in upgrading my equipment.

You could do 3 gallon batches until you get a larger brew pot.  I'm currently doing 3 gallon batches until I upgrade some equipment.

I use a 7.5 turkey fryer pot most of the time (if I'm not using the 15 gal SS ;D).

To over come boil-over I run about 4 gallon in the pot and the rest (~2-1/2 gallon) in another container. Immediately after the hot break I dump the remainder of the wort in the boil kettle and then get a "mini break" and then start the time.

You can find a 15G aluminum kettle on Amazon for about $100.  Stainless is a little more.
