Celebrating my first ever 10 gallon batch in my new keggle.
Kept it safe with a SNPA clone. Also kegged my first full 5 gallon boil the same day, a Magic Hat #9 clone. The #9 clone turned out to be possibly one of my best home brews to date. Absolutely fantastic!
I expect I will drain most of that 10 gallons at a housewarming party coming up in June.
I was kind of stressing somewhat for a few reasons. First of all, I have a euro sanke keg (roughly 12 gallons and change), and when adding extracts there was almost 0 margin for error with the temperature control. Had one tiny little boil over but that was it.
Secondly, 10 gallons of boiling water just scared me. 5 gallons I can lift easily and is generally controllable. All went well though.
All in all a pretty good day.
