I was thinking on my next brew day of brewing two beers back to back. I would have every thing set up . Take one out of mash tun put in the next etc. It seems like this may add an hour or two but would have two brews done and only one major clean up. One would be a blue moon the other a blueberry wheat. Has anyone done this and how did the day turn out.

I frequently brew two batches at the same time and it adds about 90 minutes to my total time. I have two mash tuns and use the stove for sparge water, which cuts down on the time.

The only drawback is that it requires a lot more focus, since you have to add hops to the first batch while you are sparging the second. The first time I did it, I was late on a couple hop additions. I would not suggest doing it while drinking.

There was also the 24 hour brew day, which put me off of brewing for a few months.

As long as you're ready...I mean mentally ready...go for it.

Like any endeavor, if you're psyched for the occasion, it's easier.

You will be tired afterward though.

If you're the type (like me) that spends an hour or so just finding all your stuff in the cluttered garage, it's not going to work. Make sure you have everything ready to go and laid out, get your grain milled the night before. You can also measure out your first batch of water and fill the kettle/HLT the night before. Make sure you have two different timers.

It really depends on how efficient your setup is. Not efficient in terms of extraction, but in terms of work done by you!

If you have to walk up 2 floors from where you brew to get your equipment, you may not want to attempt two, but if you use a basement where you store equipment, ferment, bottle/keg, clean then there may not be a big issue...
