    For the first time I brewed two mini mash 5 gallon batches in one day. I did a Stout and a Dogfish 60 minute clone. Needless to say I feel more tired than after running the NYC marathon. Brewing is hard work! Guess I will need to step up my brewing training :rockin:

    It'll all be worth it in 6-8 weeks.

    For me to do 2 AG's in one day, is a full day operation. I like to start one batch by 9:00 am to hopefully be cleaned up, put away, and a quick shower by dark. SO worth it in a month or two though....

    I brewed once while also bottling, talk about tiring and frustrating. I can't imagine brewing twice in one day!

    I've done 2 all grains in one day twice. Both times I've said I'll never do it again.

    The sweet reward! Two fermenters bubbling along nicely on the AM. Well worth it.

    I do it fairly often, even had a triple brew day a few weeks back. :D I like consolidating the process because you don't have to clean all the equipment in between (other than a quick rinse). Plus little stuff like using the cooler output as strike water for the next batch saves time and resources.
