35 gallons on their way.

Successful brew day overall. Had my first boil over ever. Cranked the flame too high and walked away; even with Fermcap. Nothing major though.

 

[passedpawn]

Is that one batch?

 

[GryphonBrew]

Is that one batch?

No. 4 different ones. It'll end up being 6 different ones due to yeast and secondary additions.

 

[passedpawn]

Well that is an epic brewday. One one cleanup though!

 

[ThreeBrothersBrewery]

Dang! How many hours did that take you?

 

[Transamguy77]

Nice! Somebody was productive today

Yep. Just one cleanup is the best part.

 

[GryphonBrew]

About 13.

Gotta get it in when I can.

I've done 2 in one day before. It took me 16 hour. One was a double decoction and my mash tun was realy crapy at the time. Dreadfully slow runoff. How did you do it did you mash and boil 2 or 3 at ones

 

[Disintegr8or]

That's insane.

My OCD is kicking in and that 6th bucket is making me crazy.

I would basically be working on 3 at the same time. One would be mashing, one boiling, one chilling in the bucket. Its non stop with sparging, transferring from boil kettle to bucket and whatnot. I get the first runnings in the boil kettle while sparging the 2nd and 3rd runnings. But it works out well to do it all in one day.

Hahhahhhahaha! Yeah I noticed that too, but was too tired to give a flying fornication by that point.

That is one of the cooler things I have seen. Good for you.

 

[NuclearRich]

pretty awesome man, hope your hard work pays off with dividends!

 

[Xpertskir]

Jealous of that. Seems like a lot of volume math, sparge timing, temperature monitoring, and boil additions to juggle. Are you the rain main of brewing? I'm going to go with definitely....

Thanks Bootstrap!

A sold ABV ROI is all I ask.

Hahhaah! Beer Smith "definitely" makes it easier.

 

[chriscax]

Wow that's insane. You must have multiple boil pots. If I had more than one I might consider undertaking a day like this....invite friends over and pay them in beer! you'll have to tell me how you feel the next day!

Nope just one 15 gallon boil pot. I have a few other pots that I use as HLTs but that's it. I usually feel like I worked out all day hauling all that water, wort an grain all over but it's worth it.

 

[Mishraile]

Wow... it makes my little 5 gallon batches every 5 weeks seem quite pitiful. I think I would be much more adventurous if I knew I was making 4-5 beers at a time. As it is...I can't afford to mess up or try something I might not like, since its my only beer for 5 weeks! Awesome job!

They're all infected!


j/k that's epic!

You're dead on. It's a lot easier to go for it. Plus I've got 11 taps to keep full so I need to have options in the pipeline.

Oh shut your face! That would suck!

 

[FirstStateBrewer]

Did you brew this much for any special occasion or just because this was the only time you had available to brew?

 

[GryphonBrew]

Special occasion was I only had 20 gallons in my pipeline. With a keezer that holds 55 that doesn't go too far. Plus I like doing big days like this. As someone already mentioned there's just one cleanup. I don't remember the last time I only did one batch.

Only 20 gallons in your pipeline? I hope you have lots of help with your drinking! LOL!
