I haven't had much time to brew lately, so I'm planning an adventurous 20 gallon brewday Saturday.
I'll be doing a modified version of Deathbrewer's PM with a kettle on the stove, moving it to the oven to maintain temp, then full boils in the keggle. I can chill quickly w/ a 50' IC & a 50' pre-chiller for ice and I've already got two backup propane tanks. Orfy's 3 brew thread gives me hope that this is feasible, but I'd love some advice from the peanut gallery - my draft schedule below.....
