15 gallon brew stand, 5 gallon batches?
|
|
I am wondering if it is possible to brew all grain batches as small as five gallons on a brew stand using 15 gallon kegs?
Thanks

My only problem when I do this is I mounted my thermometer too high on my keggle mash tun, leaving it measuring open air during 5 gallon batches.... oops.

Yeah, my thermometer was a wee bit too high in the MLT too. I ended up making the 5 gallons batches with a higher water / grain ratio just to get the thermowell submerged, but it worked ok. If I'd been thinking, I would have mounted the thermometer a little lower to accommodate 5 & 10 gallon batches.....

This is going to head into the legalities of getting a keg... Just plan on this taking 6 months to procure, my sister's BF had a keg in his backyard for 10 years !
