This week, I want to make my first 10 gallon batch. I wanted to do my DFH clone, but it requires 28 pounds of grain for 10 gallons. I guess I can do a very thick mash in my 10 gallon Igloo cooler, but I just haven't decided yet. Otherwise, I can make the APA below.
Anyway, I have a new SQ14 burner and I tried it out yesterday. Wow- it gets much hotter than my old turkey fryer. I also have a keggle that I've never used. I think most of the challenges for me are going to involve boil volume and the boil off rate! The keggle is much wider than my smaller pot and I think I'll have much greater evaporation.
I thought I'd start with 12 gallons and boil down to 10.5. Does that seem about right to you 10 galloners?
