I always do two ten gallon batches when I brew. From the time I walk out to the garage to start setting up to the time I pull the last vehicle back in and close the door is between 8-9 hours. I've never gone over 9 hours.

Well... brewed AG for the first time yesterday and time from alarm going off to I sat down w/clean up being done... 9 hours. LOL! I know this will get better as I learn. I also didn't want to rush the process and really took my time... had a slow sparge (probably nearly stuck but it trickled so I went with it), etc. 9 hours will be worth it all in experience and hopefully a great IPA.

I just did one in 4 hours. Would've been quicker if my gas stove worked a little better!

Edit:
It took some time getting my mash water up to temperature.
60 min. mash.
15-minute single-batch sparge.
It took a LONG time to get my wort boiling.
60 min. boil.

It takes me 5 to 5.5 hours to make 17.5 gallons.

5-6 hours includes prep and cleanup(I mash 90 min and fly sparge)

Is that all one batch? 17.5 gallons?

5-6, batch sparger.

wish it were less. i usually don't plan very well and end up having to do some cleaning before i start tho.

5-6 hours, I'm on my stovetop and do a 90 min boil to drive off a full gallon.

5 hours or so. I use the stove for mash water, and the burner for the boil. Could be much quicker if I used the propane for everything, but its expensive.

I usually have tons to do while the strike water is heating though, (like wash fermenters and such)
