      Hi guys,
      
      I'm looking to get in to BIAB and would like to brew on my stove top. I've been reading up a lot but i'm struggling to get an answer on what size pot is ideal.
      
      I've seen this pot:
      
      I used the biabacus and it suggested I could get approx 8 litres of beer, this doesn't seem like a lot.
      
      My questions are: Is 19 litres enough (if not what should I get?) is it possible for me to get approx 12litres out of a 19 litre pot? Can anyone advise a recipe that would be similar to Goose IPA?...

      Thanks for the feedback.
      
      I'll try to answer as many of the points as possible.
      
      Budget isn't tight, I think I'd be brewing on stovetop for the foreseeable. I've got a gas hob.
      
      I've also got a wife so this needs to be considered :-D
      
      I'm looking for something that isn't too strenuous and can be packed away hence focusing on reasonably sized pots for stove top brewing. Maxi-biab is basically adding water via a sparge?
      
      Thanks
