Question
I have been a homebrewer for a couple of years and a 5 gallon batch is just not enough.  Between my family and friends when I finish a batch I am lucky to get a gallon to myself.  I have been trying to find bigger equipement for either 10 or 15 batches but have been so far unsuccesful.  How to I step into making larger batches with regards to equipment.  Thanks for the help!

Answer
Hi Michael

Before answering your question:

what equipment and size do you have now,include
-Bottling set up
-heating equipment I.E.stove
-refrigeration I.E.refridgerator

It may be best to make the same size batch every week to 10 days,and reclaim the yeast,for use in a following batch.

I will be glad to help you,once I have this info.
