I'm in the process of parting out my upgrade away from my poor-college-student setup, and made the mistake of visiting a buddy who has a ginormous brewery setup. Well, I had been planning on going with a 3-keg setup, and even have the kegs on hand. But he got me to thinking that maybe I could bump my setup up to a 3x25 gallon pot setup...
Obviously, this would be quite a bit more money, but would have a few real advantages...One, it would give me the freedom to brew a 15 gallon batch (planning 10 gal for most). Two, cleaning would be much easier than reaching into keggles. Three, buy once cry once: if I go that route, I basically wouldn't ever need to upgrade again, unless I went pro .
I am planning on adding a RIMS system at some point, as well as a fermentation chamber. Fermenters will be either 20 gal buckets or (future upgrade) conicals.
So, with that in mind....am I nuts? Wait, don't answer that. Ahem, err, have any of you ever made the leap to past keggles, and regretted the plunge?
Thanks in advance!
