What size pot?

[Jack Hackett]

Hi folks,
nice and simple...
what is the minimum size boiling pot I should be looking at for doing extract brews? is 12l big enough?
Alu or stainless?

The simple answer is as big as possible :thumb:

hop bittering changes with gravity so the less liquid you boil the greater the gravity the more hops you will require for the same IBU.

A 30L boiler would be perfect but 12 will suffice just adjust the hops accordingly

or make a hop tea at a lower gravity and add that after the boil
