Sorry for hijacking your thread. Here's what I'd recommend as a long time homebrewer and now pro-brewer. First, get an all-grain kit from someone like the Brooklyn brew shop. It's cheap, the batch size is small enough to use your current equipment and gives you a great introduction to the craft. They are basically doing a modified version of brew in a bag which is a simpler all-grain method and definitely what I'd recommend as you move forward. If you find you like it and want to upgrade to the standard 5 gallon batch sizes here's a list of items to get you going.

With a 11 gallon total capacity you'll be able to brew most beers with a moderate alcohol level. If you have a local Homebrew shop, have them drill a hole and add a valve at the bottom or do it yourself (fairly easy). This will save a lot of time, effort, and make better beer.

For a fermenter, you can start with the bucket, but they leak and scratch easily. Glass carboys are heavy, expensive, hard to clean, and you can't pull samples without risking contamination. I highly recommend these guys.

You will also need a hydrometer set (this will work for now) Hydrometer (Beer/Wine) & Glass Test Jar. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DUPMZJK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_41geAbRM5KQA6

This is probably a down the road buy, but a chiller is essential. Ice baths took hours to cool to temperatures safe for yeast (and tasty beer). This brought it down the 20-30 minutes. Stainless Steel Immersion Wort Chiller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064ODYKE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_m.geAbESZE44N

The big stuff shop around online. You can definitely find better deals than what I linked. The small stuff, brew bag included check your local homebrew shop. Brewing all grain is a lot cheaper and better quality than the extract kits.

I started with a kit almost exactly like the one you linked, but soon found that other stuff would make my life a lot easier and ended up replacing almost everything in the kit, basically wasting the $130 I spent on it. It's a glorious hobby one I never imagined would take me to where I am today.

I just used my new one for my first all grain batch! It worked like a charm, cleaned super easy, dried quickly as well. Unfortunately the one I ordered:

Didn't fit my new 40 quart Bayou classic (would've fit my old 5.5 gal though), was drastically undersized in diameter. I had already bought it before hand, thinking it would fit all 10 gallon kettles.

I'd like to get another to fit the new kettle, though I'm a bit hesitant cause I don't want to order the wrong size. Went out and measured the new kettle:

Height: 13.25 inches

Diameter: 15.25 inches

Funny enough when I try to find product specs I get a varying amount of LxHxD. /u/thebrewbag are you familiar with the 40 quart bayou, can you confirm which bag will fit with nicely? Thanks!
