Excellent set up,
I've got 5 x 160ltr big fv and 5 x 30 ltr , i always seem to be using the smaller one's for flavor washes, quicker to get to desired generation then make a bigger wash.
Also if you bugger up a 160lt wash you get a bit more cranky with yourself.
But saying that, I always do the TFFV in 120 lt batches, being a single generation wash rarely or never fails as opposed to generation washes that requires more closely monitoring.
My 2 bobs worth, best i get back over to the shed and waste a bit more time :teasing-tease:

Yep once you move from a 25L boiler to a Milk Can everything else gets bigger and heavier in order to fill it. I put down batches in 2 x 30L fermenters so I can handle them easier than one bigger 60L container (mainly because I am a weakling). Although if you fancy smaller batches for experimenting you can always run that 5 Star pot on the T500 boiler with the right adaptor.
What's first on the brew list?

What's first on the brew list? I have a 30L fermenter with a gen1??? UJSSM . its only really about 16L of wash tho because the corn takes up so much room. pretty much to the 10L mark , so im thinking I will have to run that on the t500 boiler otherwise it wont cover the elements. really need to be doing atleast 2 of these from now on so it would be over 30L. and a TPW (25L)

Also if you bugger up a 160lt wash you get a bit more cranky with yourself. yeah this make sense,..... I will need to order a few more 30L and 60L fermenters
