I was just curious how many people brew 2 batches at once? I would figure that as long as you had 2 burners, 2 pots, and 2 mlt that it would cut the time in half required for 2 batches of beer. That sounds nice to me!

Yeah but then you have to setup/cleanup more.Kevin Dean said:Sounds like a pain to me. Realistically, you can only have "so much" beer before that meets it's point of diminishing return. If you want MORE beer, step it up to larger batches. If you want more styles, brew smaller batches more often. You'll brew enough that eventually you'll have to wait for a fermenter. If you fill all your fermenters in one session you'll wait (a minimum) of three weeks before you can brew again. If you fill one of your fermenters every week at the end of three weeks you've got the same amount of beer, same number of styles and probably less boilovers.

I say go for it. I brew every weekend (I know I need help) so no need to double up.jacobyhale said:I was just curious how many people brew 2 batches at once?
