Brew Day

In honor of MLK I’m brewing all day today. Trying to get three batches (that’s 30 Gallons!) done so they’ll be ready for the brew-ha-ha.

Come by whenever if you are in town and around.

    A 30 gallon day? That’s pretty hardcore. Given that I’ve got a full 10 gallon and a full 5 gallon system, I’ll have to try that one of these days! I just need to up my primary fermenter capacity…

    But that’s got to be a busy day. If I do 15 gallons, I can do it all at once (despite it being two batches, and it’s about 5 1/2 hours. I imagine if I staggered two more (mashing one while boiling another), I could do 30 gallons in under 8 hours. But I imagine you’ll be going 10 hours or more…

    Oh Travis, BTW, how’s that exploding stout coming along?

    Sitting in the basement, I am waiting the carbonation out. Considering I used Teflon tape on the threads, I doubt it’s going to make a difference, but I am going to do it anyway.
