Man, AG really IS that easy!

I have been about two thoughts away from making up that second batch of 10 gallons in one day. Maybe next brew session I will do up an APA and a Stout. That could be done. One around 5% and the other at about 4.7%. Got the old mind working now you jerks!

Rule no. 1 of AG brewing. Never tell anyone in charge of finances that you are done spending. Always have something on the horizon bigger than the purchase you are currently requesting.

Rule no. 2. Create a spending budget that cannot be argued with. Then spend all that money on brewing equipment.

TWO 10 gal batches in FIVE hours! Are you jerking us around? If you can swing that, LG will kiss your butt and give you 15 minutes to draw a crowd....
Best I can do is 1 10 gal batch in 7 - 8 hours....

Here's where I did two 5 gal batches by myself in a pipelined fashion. 5 hrs 20 mins. I do the same w/ 10 gal batches with my brew buds all the time. Probably adds an extra 30 mins extra heating time, so I stand corrected. Two 10 gal batches in 6 hours.

One 5 gal batch < 4 hours, or one 10 gal batch < 4:30 - every time and without stressing myself.

Well, color me impressed. However, if I could get my water to temperature quicker, I could cut out a couple of hours myself. I am reevaluating my burner positioning and have added a 7.2kW element to my HLT, so we will see next brew day.
