Ok, so if you saw my earlier post about my recent 15gal windfall, I am now in a position to jump to larger batches.
What are the unforeseen problems/challenges of scaling up? The home brew world is tailored to the 5 gal batch. The largest economical fermentor I can find is 30l from Midwest (it's great).
I assume you split batches into 5gal fermenters?
I can also see how a plate chiller becomes more necessary.
And let's not even talk about kegging!
Any other learnings or insights?
