Since it was posted by Forumite Bevvied last year, I've always been fascinated by the idea behind this thread
http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=56857
Make 50-60L of beer and have a large stock of it so it lasts me 3 months or so. Now as a maxi -BIABer my pot can fit a maximum of about 5.3kg of grain To do 55L of 1.040 beer I'd need about 9.5kg of grain, completely impossible for me. However if I did a partial mash I only need 4.5kg of grain, 2.5kg of DME and 800g of Golden Syrup. Definatley doable.
I've no idea how much yeast I'd need but far more than I'm willing to buy so I'm planning to make a regular 23L brew and harvest a good chunk of the yeast cake and chuck it into the 55L of wort
For an FV, I'm going to get one of these

It should fit in my brew bag nicely.
I'd be a total masochist to try to bottle 55L of beer. I've 8 easy kegs so I'd use those and the 15L or so left over I'd bottle
Well thats the plan anyway! :thumb:
