So is a 19 litres pot big enough for a 23 litre Graeme wheeler brew ?

Yes, if you brew 'short' with a concentrated wort and add water at the fv stage. you'll need to pay attention to your hopping rates to make sure you get them correct

Edit to that it's 18 litres so I'd have a litre of dead space

leaves just 1 litre of headspace in your boiler to cope with possible rolling boilovers.... bit close for my liking

Im lucky enough to now have a 32l electric boiler (thanks to mastersouffle :D ) so my 19l stainless pot is to be utilised as an HLT.
