For brewing 5 gallons of beer, do you recommend the 20 qt. or the 24 qt. size?

if you are doing all grain, then you will need at least a 6.5gal pot and it is better to go 7 or 8gal. if you are doing extract+steep or partial mash, either should be fine. With 20qt you will get less efficient hop utilization, but you can cool it faster and top it off with more water. With 24 qt you can get good hop utilization, but it will be harder to chill. For what its worth, when I stared extract+steep, I only had a 3 gal pot, and made good beer.

To brew 5 gallons of beer, you need at least 6.5 gallons of space (pre-boil volume). The more the better. I'd recommend a 32qt at a minimum to avoid boilovers. I brew 10 gallon batches in a 20 gallon pot and it's easy peasy. Much smaller and it was a hassle. So for 5 gallon batches, i'd recommend a 40 qt, 32qt at a minimum.

I would purchase a gallon because it has many uses. A Qt is probably plenty for this one job.

When i started no-knead bread, I used the 7 qt dutch oven and it was fine, but now i use a 5qt. I prefer the 5qt, but may try a smaller one someday. Once the 7 qt was tied up on braise duty and made it happily in a Cuisinart 735-24 Chef's Classic Stainless 3-Quart Chef's Pan with Cover

A 22oz Bomber bottle has the same sized opening as a 12 ounce bottle. So it would fit and it would chill the beer. However, most homebrewers don't drink their beer from the bottle, because of the yeast in the bottle. Some people who keg, transfer their beer to bottles for various reasons, and those will have very little to no sediment. So I would check their process before buying them something they wouldn't use.

I have a glass top and I use the 21 qt pressure canner, it is slightly bigger than my large eye and it works perfectly. love it.

I advise to switch the 60L out for the 130L & get a few extra. I have 5 130L carbonating bottles

I want to purchase either the 5 qt or 7 qt for frying chicken,there are 4 in our family. Which size would work for less oil splatter also?

Keith, Boy I wish I could answer you. You should be able to look up a seal for both and see if the numbers are the same. I have the visual impression that the 16 is smaller but maybe not. They will both hold 7 quarts and of course the larger takes twice as many pints, but this is only a height factor and not relavant. Sorry I cannot be more helpful but I have never been interested in a canner without a visual gauge [the 16 does not have one]. The 22 and 23 quarts do of course.Anyway, good luck.Best Regards,Jim McNulty

As good or better overall. I have the 14.5, two 18.5s and the 22.5. The 14 is nice for small cooks. I overloaded it once and had to add charcoal. If you stick to smaller cooks, you won't have that problem. I have had no issues with temp control on it. Either using water or without water. Have roasted chickens in the 320-335 range and have smoked fish at 200-225 and also have done ribs and butts in between.

It's a 5 gallon batch, but there can be a small lose if you rack it, and during bottling. I try not to drink the yeasty scum from the bottom of the brew vessel.

As long as it is the standard threaded connection, any size tank would work. I routinely hook up to 100# tank of brew club brewing days.

Primary is for 2.5 gal. Probably too much head space. Only about 4oz lost with spigot. Traps lots of sediments I do the 2.5 batches and really like the performance.

I purchased the 7.5L, but I believe the 5L has plenty of capacity for 1 person consumption rate. The 5L will also be easier to handle during cleanings. However if your friends discover your home made sauerkraut, they will want frequent offerings and you will wish you bought the 7.5L. Better just buy one and get fermenting.

Maybe it's a stock photo for all their items? Definitely a solid 30 qt here- though if you're using it for brewing (like I was) you'll probably only want to fill it to about 6 gallons.

Hello Danielle, 3-5 Psi is the correct answer. I am on my 8th barrel and this kegerator keeps working flawlessly.If you run it at 10-12 Psi as recommended it will be mostly foam for your first couple beers. 3-5 will be a slower but smoother pour. Enjoy! Remember you can always pull the ring on the coupler to lower the pressure instantly.

I would go with 24 and then cut it down. Also, get the pool cove pieces. They are great. For my 21', I got the 19 pack.. I can't remember if I had any extra

I use a regular "Culligan" jug. I think it's a 5 gallon. I love my machine.
