5 to 6.5 for me, for now. Looking forward to 10 Gallon batches next Spring.

I don't know how all you 5gal people do it when its so much work for not much beer i do as much as i can fit in the boiler about 14gal

12 for me but an occasional 24 gallons.

6.5G (I do 25L batches) for me. I like variety too much to make large individual batches.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

15 gallons is my norm. I'm brewing a 10 gallon batch of BIG beer tomorrow, but that's quite the exception.

6.5G (I do 25L batches) for me. I like variety too much to make large individual batches.

Same here. I'll do 10 gal batches if I'm brewing with someone else and we're splitting the beer.

Same here on the 5 gallons. I don't have endless storage space, so I keep the batches smaller.

I brew to end up with either 5 or 10 gallons by the time I keg. The size depends on the popularity of the brew. If it's an experiment - 5; if it's something I know I'm going to like - 10.

Five gallons is plenty of one kind and the weight is about right. I rarely brew the same style twice in a year, so I wouldn't want 10 gallons of it.

I brew 5 AG or 10 when I use extract, but I'm making a Keggle soon (already have the keg) so I'll start brewing 10 gallon AG batches also. Like RDWJ I will never brew more than 5 gallons of something that is an experiment.

5 at a time. I'm doing full boils on my stove top for now.

If club brews count then we brew 150 gallons at a time in a massive mash and lauter tun, really very impressive the first time i saw that thing. my personal brewery can handle 11 gallon batchs.

Normally 15-20 gallons between myself and brewpal.
Occasionally a guy new to brewing will pop in so we like to let him take home
a carboy to watch over. When that happens we tend more towards 20- 24 gallons. Great if there are no mistakes.

For me it takes the same amount of time and wrok to make 10 gallons as it does 5 and my system seems to work best with a 10 gallon batch. So if its a brew with an OG of 1.065 or less I will do 10 but if it's bigger then that then I lack room for the boil and do a 5 gallon.

I shoot for 11.5 gallons in the kettle. Works out to about 11 after fermentation and chilling and trub loss.
