How long does your brew day take with your electric systems?

[Martys1]

3 gallon batch in my AF6.5 takes 4 hours.

There is so much down time while brewing that it makes it easy to clean as you go. The first brew day the brew is in the fermenter in ~7 hours, the second brew day the obligatory brew cart updates are done and everything is packed away in around 2 hours. The elephant in this discussion is the other brew day, kegging, which of course includes fermenter cleaning and keg cleaning adding another 4 hours. So that's it, three days about 13 hours every 6 weeks costing $50 to $75 for 10 gallons of delicious homebrew. Only wish I could drink more!

My keg day doesn't take anywhere near 4 hours. And the second brew day? I don't usually have one except I'm dry hopping so I'll be doing an extra transfer.

My kegging day is also much shorter. The kegs are already sanitized and purged. It's just a matter of transferring the beer from the Brew Bucket and then cleaning the brew bucket.

I usually clean, sanitize and purge 5-6 kegs at a time. That process does take several hours of a couple of days.
