10 gallon batches in 26 gallon pots?

[krizwit]

I make 12 gallon (15.5 gallon pre-boil) and sometimes 18 gallon (23.2 gallon pre-boil) batches in my 26 gallon MoreBeer kettle. I get a nice rolling but even boil and the whirlpool is to die for. (No offense Cliff, but fuck physics!)

Out of curiosity, how long do you let your wort settle before pumping it out to your therminator?

I think Cliff was was being sarcastic. Note the little :p at the bottom of his post.

One thing to note when comparing the 15 gallon and 26 gallon MoreBeer pots is that they both have the same diameter. The 26 gallon pot just has higher sidewalls. Same goes for the 20 gallon MegaPot and the 25 Gallon megapot. Think about it intuitively. If you have two kettles, both with the same diameter, both with the same volume of water in them, how would higher sidewalls make a difference to your boil, how the wort works in the kettle, how a whirlpool would work, etc.
