Big Old ESB

I took a break from brewing lagers this week. The Mrs loves her some bitter, so I brewed a big batch (10 gallons worth) of Extra Special Bitter. This was the first time I ever brewed a 10 gallon batch. Boy was this heavy to move around in the brewpot. I was so worried about sloshing it all over the place.  It took two carboys for all the wort. That some bitter baby!
