Best Brew Pot?

[snakebräu]

Hullo again

We are contemplating doing an all grain brew but with basic equipment. We have 2 FVs and a camping stove. Thinking of buying a collapsable collander and use 1 FV for mash/sparge then boil the newly made wort in the Pot that we don't have yet with hops then add to 2nd FV, cool to pitching temp in an ice bath then pitch yeast.

That's all we really need right? (will also get a couple of digi thermometers)

So my question is this, best sort of pot(s) to buy for 23L batches (we're used to them through kit brewing)

With minimal equipment available have you looked at BIAB brewing boil in the bag. its a recognised method of all grain brewing.
Full mash requires some equipment that you may not already have from kit brewing.
You say you have a camping stove.... is it powerful enough to heat 23 litres of wort and to keep it boiling for say 90 mins. will your gas canisters last that long
After acquiring a suitable boiler the other bits of equipment can be fudged and worked around with various plastic fermenting vessels and buckets and I see no reason why you would not be successful.
Boilers come in various types and price ranges from the cheap and cheerful self build plastic bucket with kettle elements fitted, tea urns and the dedicated stainless steel pans with elements thermometers etc fitted.
It all depends on the depth of your pocket and how far you want to go.
A large steel Stock Pot with a separate propane heater is a good starting point.

I've had a wee read about BIAB but thought it was mainly a yank thing as they seem to consistently mention "Turkey Friers" on Youtube

No BIAB is a recognised all grain brewing method many folks on here do it.
have a read of their web site.

Decided that we don't have space for pulleys etc. Think a collapsable collander and a stockpot is probably a good base to start AG with. Do People buy big pots from anywhere specific or do most folk just go to a local supermarket/cash and carry?
