I’m listing several sized kettles and pots for various sized brewing batches. Some of these are just standard pots and not specific to brewing beer but they are sufficient and certainly will do the job. I started out brewing beer in some of these basic pots and they work just fine. Some of the ones listed are specific for brewing beer and have additional accessories and options that make the brewing experience easier. I tried to list different options for all budgets as some of the larger pots can get expensive. I also have some other items that might be useful such as sanitizer and stirring utensils at this link: Other Supplies – Home Beer Brewing Kits (homebeerbrewkits.com)
2 Gallon (8 Quarts) Stainless Steel Pot
This is a basic stainless steel pot that can be used for brewing that includes a lid. This is ideal for brewing 1 gallon batches. I wouldn’t recommend this for 2 gallon sized batches as the pot will be pretty full when you’re stirring.
5 Gallon (20 Quarts) Stainless Steel Pot
Here is another basic stainless steel pot but in a 5 gallon size. It also includes a lid and is good for any batches 5 gallons and under. If you’re making a 5 gallon batch, I’d still suggest something larger to give you some extra room in the pot.
6 Gallon (24 Quarts) Stainless Steel Pot
I’ve listed this 6 gallon stainless steel pot because if you’re brewing 5 gallons this will give you some extra room while brewing. It comes with a lid also.
8 Gallon (32 Quarts) Stainless Steel Pot
This is a pretty large pot but if you’re brewing with all grains you’ll want the extra room. This one is also made of stainless steel and it includes a lid as well.
5.5 Gallon Anvil Stainless Steel Brew Kettle
These kettles are a step up from the previous pots I listed because of the internal thermometer and the built in valve. The valve is great because you can drain the wort directly out of the kettle without having to dump it out of the pot, even if it’s still hot.
