It all started 2 years ago when my son gave me some of his extract home brew and got me to go all grain with him.
We got a 15 gallon brew kettle and two Rubbermaid coolers and made 5 - 10 gallon all grain batches. That was great but we got sick of boiling over the 15 gallon kettle and got a 20 gallon one. Now we could make 15 gallon batches. mmmmm good stuff and lots of it. Every weekend, well almost we missed a couple for family reasons you know Thanksgiving and Christmas the usual ones.
Converted the 15 gallon kettle into a nice HLT Now we are expanding again to a 55 gallon Blichmann boil kettle with 10,000 watts and a 44 gallon HLT and a soon to come 44 gallon Mash Tun. Nothing fits in the brew room so it all comes apart and gets reinstalled before we run out of beer.
Is this a Hobie or am I addicted? I told my SYMBO that because we won a home brew award that it was a Sport.
