Very impressive, a brew-weekend is a ton of sustained effort! I'm terrible at back to back days, I get so tired of cleaning, and sanitizing...and drunk.

You can totally do it. I've done three batches in a day just once...and I will never do it again.
Toward the end of the second batch I started getting "lazy" well..."drunk".
Then I fired up the gas grill and started "forgetting" about things.
It was totally fun though and if you lived around here I'd totally come over to give you moral support!

The only thing that makes less sense than running 9 mile at 7 in the morning is doing it before a 15 hour brew day.

I'd add an extra hour for OH ****, time before you're finished.

+1,
I stopped planning time schedules, I just have a list of tasked to check off in order. My first two all grain batches on a completely new, never tested system were done in the same day. They turned out to be two of my best batches yet but would I attempt it again even after having a good number of runs on the system. Probably not, inevitably something still always seems to go wrong. Your a brave man

You can definitely do it. Do as much prep work as you can the night before. I always print out brewsheets, fill up carboys with star-San, measure hops in numbered plastic cups, get out all equipment and set everything up in the garage, and make a couple sandwiches for quick, easy food.
I have done three seperate all grain batches in ten hours when I have prepped the night before.
If you want to schedule everything, I would make it a little less detailed so you have some wiggle room.
Hope it goes well.

thanks for the vote of confidence! I think I half expected most of the replies to be of "Don't do it!" , "disaster waiting to happen, run away!" variety.
I'm going to have everything I can think of, and backups, cleaned & sanitized the night before. One of the reasons I'm trying to squeeze so much into one brewday is that I have a tiny DC rowhouse with no storage. I literally have all my brewgear arranged Jenga-style in an office closet and it's a real PITA to get everything out and then Tetris it all back into the closet for one 5 gal batch.
I really like your hop cups idea, and the pre-made sandwiches.

For the hop cups, I use the clear plastic 6 oz tasting glassesand then mark the time of addition and batch on the outside (60A, 10B, etc.). Don't forget the whirlfloc and yeast fuel too.
