My wife has been on me for not spending time with the family so I have been working on way to cut down my brew day. I brew 5 gallon all grain batches.
12G brew kettle
10G Cooler mash tun
8.75G HLT
grain mill
50K BTU Propane burner and a 5500W electric element! I can get 6 gallons of water to boil in like 15 mins. (never timed it)
March pump
SS Immersion chiller
The only place I can see to save time is in my chilling. I am using a SS immersion chiller. It takes about 45 mins to get down to 70F. Is a plate heat exchanger or the hose counter-flow chiller the way to go?
Any other ideas to cut down some time? Thanks!
