30qt pot, AG and brewing with > 30qt of wort

I've recently switched to AG and 3 of the 4 recipe's I've used call for more strike/sparge water than my 30qt boil pot can handle.

This weekend on my 4th batch I mashed in 17# of grain with ~5.3 gal of strike water, sparged with 3 gal as per the directions which filled my 30qt pot and I began the 90 min boil. While that was going I sparged again with another 3 gal and collected in a smaller pot and brought to a boil on my stove top for a hot break. As the volume boiled away in my 30qt pot I would add wort to it, I ended up transfering about 2 gal over that way. My final volume was ~6 gal and OG was 1.075.

While I'll probably get something bigger soon this is what I have, any thoughts on if this is good, bad, or will my hop schedule just be completely out of whack doing something like this?

Thanks -

The beer will have more IBUs do to higher utilization from the lower gravity wort, but other than that everything should be fine.

Sweet. It's definitely a dark rich brown, plenty of pics when I have time to upload. I can't wait to try it. It took over 18 hrs to show signs of fermentation, bugging the crap outta the guy on the chat board.

yea, other then the hops comment already made sounds like you made beer!
