10 Gal Club :)

WOOT!

I just extracted 11.5 gal 1.049 OG from 16 lbs grist, split into two kettles each with 60 min boils, same hop schedule, different yeasts, 9 hours.:rockin:

Yeoman Special Bitter

My home brew club did this but used the same yeast and the only difference was hops and fermentation temps, unfortunately I missed the tasting and only got to try one other, and it was way different. Let me know how the yeast experiment goes.

Nine hours... Why so long?

It takes me awhile, this is only my fourth all grain batch mashed on the stove top. I doughed in at 133f and ramped to 154f in about 20 min. with a fair amount of stirring. I did get an hour off during the sacc. rest, and fly sparged for 1.25 hr, but I was racking and cleaning the fermentation side of the brewery in the down time. Plus two consecutive 1 hour boils, took the first kettle off to chill, and put the second one up to boil. It was an epic brew day.

20 gal. club! Racked 10 more gallons (2nd double batch) onto the old yeast cakes after 21 days...

Curious, does that come out to 100% efficiency? Seems quite close.
