Hi all,
I currently brew on a 15 gallon system and get about an 11 gallon yield at about 82-85% efficiency. It usually takes me about 45 mins to 1 hour to sparge and collect between 13.5 and 14 gallons. My question is when I go to 1bbl will it take 3 times as long - up to 3 hours to sparge? Or more like 2? Or less? Is there a magic number or rule of thumb when moving to a larger system?
Thanks very much. Cheers!
Mikey
