Still Good Lookin'
Right on, so it is mostly physical issues. I found some articles where people were hanging the bags from ladders, or rigged up a pulley systems from the rafters, stuff like that did seem kind of annoying.
Yep. There's a crazy guy back east doing 65 gallon BIAB batches. I think he's had the pulley break loose once or twice. :laughing
I'd just suggest always getting a kettle bigger than you think you're going to use. Less chance of boilovers, and a better chance of not needing to 'upgrade'.
You might also peruse the for sale section over on Homebrewtalk. There's often decent equipment for sale in the bay area.
