Hello Everyone,
Today I pulled off my first 10 gal batch, I have to say it went really well and I don't think it was any harder than brewing a 5 gallon batch other than filling 2 fermenters instead of 1.
In-fact in some ways it was easy'r than a 5 gal batch, I BIAB in 1 pot and found that my mash temps today held much better/longer with less drop with the larger volume of water, quite a lot less adjustments were needed.
As far as clean up, it seemed the same as doing a 5 gal batch.
Im thinking from now on 10 gal batches on tried and tested beers, and 5 gal batches on new recipes.
I also used a KAB-6 burner for the first time, Holy Hot Burner Batman! is all I can say, boiling 10+ gal was easy, super quiet too.
Just wanted to share my experience, incase someone else is debating wether on not to try a 10 gal batch.
I say go for it.
Cheers
