Be who you are
Because those that mind don't matter
And those that matter don't mind

Re: Batch size
29 litres as it gives me the option to fill a no-chill cube if I can' be bothered to use my I/C.
Re: Batch size
Depends.
Bigger beers may be as low as 18L. My standard batch size is 23L, but occasionally I will stretch things to 30L.
I use a GF30.
To get to 30L I top up post boil with extra sparge liquor before doing the normal chill & transfer.
Seems to work well.
Biggest challenge is then lifting the SS conical full of 30L of wort into the fermentation fridge. Luckily I am a mere 59 so a youngster!

Re: Batch size
23L is my default, though I will sometimes dilute down to ~25L if I've had an unexpectedly big jump in mash efficiency.
Sometimes I will do 25L and split into 2x 12.5L if I want to experiment with dry hop combos or similar.
