      So I've been dissatisfied with the limitations of my 5 gal kettle, mainly not being able to do large batches of strong beers.
      
      I must I admit I was tempted by a 15 gallon cooler at Costco that was pretty cheap. I thought I could use that to mash in and go that route. But then I thought about the hassle of cleaning it and storing it.
      
      That is when I realized that buying a larger kettle is the right choice, even if it is more expensive.
      
      Playing around in biabacus has brought me to the conclusion...

      Thanks for including the metric figures, PP! I wanted to include them but wasn't able to look up the conversions easily at the time.
      
      GMH, thanks for the heads up on the inconsistent sizing, I will be sure to check the dimensions and calculate volume before buying. I'll also have to find out I'd there are any used restaurant supply stores nearby.

   2. Cleaning bag

      Just wondering how people clean thirst their brewing bag after brewing. I've brewed five batches so far and my brewing bag smells a little.
      
      After brew day I run the brewing bag under water to get all the grain out and then let it dry. I guess I could use PBW to clean it, or maybe star san? (those are the chemicals I have)
      
      Thanks!
