I have a SS 50 litre boiler.
I need to start making bigger batches.
Typically I collect 33 litres of wort for a 25 litre batch size.
With a NASA burner I have to be careful for boil overs even only collecting 33 litres.
My HLT is a 30 litre URN and my MLT is a 40 litre esky. I'm thinking I should be able to produce 40 litres of a 4.5-5 % beer. I'll work out the full numbers later but will need to mash in thinner otherwise I won't have the volume in my HLT.
But I'm wondering what is the most wort you have boiled in a 50 litre boiler. Obviously I won't be able to do as vigourous a boil, but I can boil for say 2 hours rather than 90 mins.
TIA,
Doc
