Default Big brewday!
For those who say that you can't make 15 gallon batches in a keggle, i say.... HA!

1st runnings is a barleywine, second is a bitter. We ended up with 90% efficiency and 27 gallons of brew. (12 for the barleywine, 15 for the bitter)

The Grains (56lbs):


Mashed in:


First Runnings:


Two kettles ready to get fired up (KAB5 on left, KAB6 on right)


Hot break and first addition of hops:


Second addition of hops:


Bitter in the foreground, barleywine in the background:


Overall, a great brewday!

Looks like a good day!

I put that much leaf in a batch once without a hop bag... once. Then after it took me like 30 minutes to get them out of the way so that I could get the last gallon or so out of the kettle I told myself I would never do it again.

OK, this gives you another 4 weeks to get the keezer finished.

Is this gonna be enough time for you to actually finish it?

wow those are filled to the rim. Did you use foam control? Why is the propane tank in a container?

Yes, we used fermcap.

The tanks is in the container with water - it reduces the tank from freezing when the burner is cranked up.

What is this mess:

Are you drinking your beer with ice or are you not drinking beer? You might not want to answer that.
