I do 10 gallon batches BIAB with a 20 gallon kettle. With my trub loss to hot break, grain absorbtion, and boil off it is just big enough to fit my water (typically 17.25 gallons) for a 10 gallon batch at around 1.055 (OG) and the 24 lbs. of grain at mash. I could likely go a bit higher with my OG, but otherwise I would have to stick to single batches for anything over about 1.065 or so.
I made my false bottom from a stainless grill grate and some stainless carriage bolts from Home Depot. This keeps my bag off the heating element during the mash.

My electric system is in my basement, so I have a hood installed to the underside of the 1st floor joists for venting moisture. I use a 4500 Watt boilcoil hooked up to a Worthog controller from High Gravity Brew.
My bag is from The Brew Bag and it has held up great. I hang it from a pulley supported from an eyebolt lagged into one of the above floor joists. I wall mounted a winch onto the foundation wall to lift the bag, way overkill I know, but it was the best I could find for cheap.
I've only recently moved to all electric, but this system has worked great so far. In order to bring the ~15 gallons to a solid boil I did have to insulate my kettle with some reflectix even with a 4500 Watt element ,but once I did that it rolls just fine.
