i started off making 5 gallon batches, using extract and speciality grains. Easy enough. I then got a close friend into the hobby and we decided to start brewing 20 gallon batches and splitting them 10gl each. We did to share the work load.
Im starting to think doing this big batch is actually more work then less even with two people.
-Takes longer to get water boiling
-Longer to cool said water
-All lifting is now much heavier
-Bottling feels like much more work due to more bottles
-Much more clean up needed
Do any of you prefer sticking to 5gl batches even though you could handle more? Would be curious to hear your opinions.
Thx
