Now that I am kegging, my idea to mash all of my specialty grains in my mash tun, and use like 25 lbs of pale DME in a 50 gallon trash can, is sounding better and better to keep my "pale ale" keg filled.
Thats ridiculous. That like $70 a month in just yeast! If you are brewing so much, pick a yeast that will work for a lot of those batches and reuse it
I agree. Even session beers benefit from an extra week or two to condition. I have gone the speedy route but better to have patience. Also everyone seems to be off secondaries now, but I think I'm going to start doing it again. I don't care about the "needless risk of infection," that's what sanitation is for.

I think a batch every weekend or two is very feasible for what your asking about. You can always pause to crack a cold one and ruminate about the space and time it takes to make enough brew for the wife and you.
