Multi batch days are a lot of work. I usually get a late start and next thing I know its 1am I'm 1/2 drunk my helpers all left so its me sitting next to the fire waiting for the boil to complete so I can chill pitch and sleep.. Ill clean tomorrow.

Congrats on a 3 batch day

I started at 8am, was finished by 4. Probably could have finished earlier, but my only helpers are my 3 yr old twins. Block off the brew area and let them run in the yard for a few hours and it gets really hard to finish one batch, much less three.

SWMBO will be glad to have me done brewing for a month or so.
 
wow, that's intense. Last time I did a multibrew day it took us about the same amount of time and only got 2 done. That was way back in my extract days with only one kettle. I can't even imagine trying to do it with little ones running around. Good job on sticking to it, that takes some serious dedication.
