I think most people that brew 10 gallon batches keg their beer but I'm not going to do the keg thing, been there done that and ain't going back to it. That being said I want to start brewing a few 10 gallon batches but I need to ask a few questions about bottling. Here goes...
I've never seen a 10 gallon bottling bucket. Can I just buy a 10-20 gallon plastic fermenter, drill a hole in it, and install a valve for bottling.
Will a regular autosiphon be able to reach low enough into the bigger taller 10 gallon fermenters to get all the beer out?
Is priming sugar harder to get mixed well for even carbonation in the much larger 10 gallon batches?
Many of you probaly think I'm crazy for undertaking a 5 hour bottling process, but we don't mind the extra time spent in our favorite hobby. I have one of those jobs where you work a month and then your off for two weeks to a month, so we have lots of free time to try to fill up , lol. thanks for any info.
