So I recently did my first all grain and am super excited to see how it turns out but it was a whole lot of freakin work for 5 gallons of beer. I am thinking about doing 10 gallon batches. Can someone fill me in on what I need to do 10 gallon batches typically? Right now I have a turkey fryer with a 30 gallon pot, a 5.5 gallon pot, a 10.5 gallon mash tun and two 6.5 gallon fermenters.

Also, is there anything to think about with 10 gallon batches that I may be unaware of?

Thanks for the help.
 
The brew pot is OK, but your other vessels should be at least 15G.

What are you using as a heat source? How are you cooling?
 
You need a bigger pot and mash tun

I have a 10 gallon MLT. I can do 10 gallon batches up to about 1.060 in it. You will want a 20 gallon pot for boiling, but could get by with a 15 gallon keggle. My converted keg is really full with 12 gallons in it, but it's doable if you're careful. If you want to do beers larger than 1.060, you'll need a bigger MLT.
