you guys don't think this way: gee that widmers/blue moon/fat tire/sn clone sounds good. these are my favorite beers so if 5 gals is good, 10 is better! especially when a keg only lasts 2 weeks (2 pints a day(VERY CONSERVATIVE)).
I don't because for me it's way more about the process of brewing than 'having beer'. The bigger the batches...the less often I'd be able to brew.
 
I do 10 gallon batches for the house beers. Basically any recipe that's been a proven winner ( A gotta have beer in stock). The reason for the 10 gallon is that I want some in my keezer (5g keg) and also some in in my 3gallon cornie for transporting to a party. The 10 gallons allows me to fill the 5g, 3g, and some bottles. Works out perfectly.
 
I do need more people to drink it... from tap! I don't enjoy bottling so taking a whole bunch to work or something is not for me. Anyway I can brew 10 gallon batches, but I normally do 5 gallon, pipeline is full as is. That's why I now have 3 five gallon ferments full of stuff that needs to age a year.
