Anyone have a kettle I could borrow this coming weekend or over the "break" between Christmas and New Years? Wanting to do a year end 10 gallon batch.
Thanks

You can borrow my 14 gallon. You do not get much head space when doing 10 gallon batches but it works.

Thanks Matt. Just let me know your boil off rate so I can account for that as best as possible.

I calculate it at 15%. Basically fill to 12.5 to 13 gallons (I can send you with my measuring stick I use). You lose about 1 gallon to dead space unless you want to tip it forward. This usually gets me to 10 gallons. It has my QD fittings right now but you can swap in whatever you want or use mine. We can figure it out when you grab the kettle. PM me to figure out timing.
