Batch Size Poll

[Jazman]

21 to 22 litres or depends whats comes out of the kettle

 

[Stuster]

20 or so litres mostly, with an occasional experimental batch of 10l.

I boil about 35 or 36 litres for a final volume in the fermenter of 25 litres. I am a bit surprised to see so many people doing 23 litres. Why? I know the kits say 23 litres but even when I did K & K's I never made em up to 23 litres.

OK, I for one do it as I use a glass carboy to secondary and it leaves me with the desirable 'very little headspace.'

Is this an acceptable excuse?

[mikem108]

20-23 litres

 

[Murray]

I aim for 19-20L but aim to scale up to 40L.

 

[johnno]

Mine are usually between 18-23 litres.

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

20 to 23 litres into fermenter.

 

[dicko]

As a general rule,

Batch size = 50 litres.

Into fermenter = 46 litres

Cheers

19-21 in the fermenter. aim for just enough to fill a corny.

 

[muga]

19 to 23 here.

 

[bindi]

19-25L most times, have done 4 batches of 50L

 

[Steve]

20 to 23 for me

 

[Weizguy]

Usually 19 (US recipes where I was 2 lazy to scale up) to 25 litres (where I have put in some effort to produce a slightly larger batch, for whatever reason).

Limitations are the keg (ooh aah) boiler, and the fermenter size, as well as my faith in my own ability to not destroy a batch of beer. Had a few acetic batches last Summer and still not confident that I won't waste a large amount of money/ingredients by making a larger batch.

Things are looking up, as far as quality goes, and I'll prob "upsize" soon. My boler should still make some 40 litre batches, perhaps? Or I can brew stronger and dilute at bottling

Has anyone made 10-12 litre experimental batches? Sorry, I'll start a new thread later.
