So I have found a problem lately with brewing: Time. It takes me roughly 8 hours start (Filling the pot with water) to putting the last piece of equipment away to brew a 10 gallon all-grain batch (BIAB).
A few of the places that I have isolated that take the longest time: Mashing (60-90 Min), and the largest time consumer is heating the water.
These long brew days used to be fine, but now at the ripe old age of 28, time is starting to be more scarce. Especially with a 15 month old running around and in the next year or 2, #2 will be in the picture.
We are moving into our first house in May, and the house has Natural Gas. I have looked into it, and while cheaper the heat potential is about 1/4th that of Propane.
But I don't know if doing more 5 gallon batches, or just figuring out a way to reduce the time needed for a 10 gallon batch is going to be better.
I have done some preliminary scanning for ideas, but I think
Lastly I am toying with a Wok Jet burner and also debating getting a NG disconnect attached to the side of the house so I can brew.
But I am mainly looking to solicit feedback/ideas because I can't be the only one that is facing this.
