what is the most you have brewed

What is the most you have brewed in one day or one week? Im wondering how much is possible.

my personal best is 16.5 gallons in one day, later that week i did a 10.75 gallon batch, that was this past Christmas .. so 27.25 gallons in a week. Normally i brew once a month.

It depends on your equipment! At my friends, 3 barrels a day is possible.

At my house, more like 10 gallons unless I want to do two batches!

How big is a barrel? The barrels that I know of are 55 gallon drums.

The big sankey kegs you are use to seeing are 1/2 barrel=15.5 gallons. So I'm assuming 46.5 gallons.

Last month I brewed 5.5 gallon batches back to back days. I need to do that more often...I usually only brew twice a month, which isn't enough for my liking.

100 gallons, roughly, in a 3 barrel batch. 1 bbl = 31 gallons.

A barrel as a unit of liquid measure is 31 gallons. 15.5 gallons times 2 equals 31 gallons or barrel. Anywho I've only ever did a 5 gallon batch at a time :'(

Was doing a DIPA and didn't want to waste all of that unused sugar, so I ran 10 gallons into my brew kettle and then ran 10 more into my HLT (all from one mash). The recirc time after I refilled the MLT gave me a solid offset between the boils so it worked out well, however, it was a bit taxing to keep all the timers going off straight...

10 gallons on my buddy's system. My wife and I couldn't ever drink more than a couple 5 gallon batches worth to make room in the pipeline for as much as I enjoy brewing. In fact now that I am buying malt/hops in bulk I am going to start doing small 1-3 gallon batches to teach myself some of the nuance in the different malts/hops.
