Hey guys.
So, a couple friends and I have been considering getting together a much larger system than any one of us has now (we all brew in 5 or 10 gallon batches)
We have been considering splitting cost and delving into perhaps getting a bigger system, perhaps able to handle 1 - 2 bbl.
Are there different operations you need to know about doing this sort of thing?
The usual technique has been brew 5 or 10 gallons and throw them into carboy(s). Looking at some of the equipment in that size ranged makes me wonder if I/We know how to actually operate it =)
Just from shopping through different sites and stuff for hours, it seems to be a completely different animal than brewing in a kettle, chilling and xfering to carboys. Any suggestions/places to look to get more info on taking the upgrade plunge?
