I need to tell my wife to buy me one of those. After all, if it saves me 30-45 minutes every time I brew, that's 30-45 minutes of quality time I could be spending with her. And that's priceless time, isn't it? ;-) I think the time-saving for you must be also due to the conical fermenter. I need to tell my wife to buy me one of those.

I've actually had a "tips to a shorter brew day" post in the works to share our time-saving techniques. We usually clock in at 4:30-4:45, so not too far off of your time. But that includes transfers and kegging. Expect a more in-depth post soon (probably next week). We're also only brewing 10 gallon batches, which could account for some of the time difference as well.

For myself, I can pull down 15 gallon batches in roughly 5 or 5.5 hours (dropping a bit now that we're using pumps & a counterflow chiller). But it sounds like you're either starting early or you've got time-saving tips if you can be finished by 10:15ish... So how quickly are you completing a batch, and what time-saving techniques are you using? Questions (probably worthy of an entire post as a response):

Although then you might have issues with my little Pony melting. It's the ol' rock and a hard place. I think that’s probably why they say to mix your sanitizer in hot water.
