I have used this combination of a five gallon stainless steel pot and an eight gallon ceramic coated canning pot. I use the five gal pot to measure out mashing water in gallon increments and I also use it for sparge water. I use the eight gallon pot for mashing and boiling. I have had both of these pots for about ten years. I use the technique discussed in Millers’, Brewing the World’s Great Beers”. It is 1.33 qts. of water per pound of grist. So, for example a 9 lb grain bill will mean 11.97 qts of water or almost exactly 3 gallons of mash water.
