TPW - is 25L faster than 50L

I have made loads of washes over the years, first I was doing 25L washes and then later 50L washes, but I never thought to compare the time it takes..

Only asking because I finally got around to making drink for the holidays and it is only a few weeks away :)

If no one knows definitively I will do both a 50 and a 25...... heck I might do that anyway...

But if anyone does know for sure, let me know.

Do you mean the fermentation? I have had 200l finish before a 20l.

Ok, cool..

I figured if the mix is right, it shouldnt make any difference how much there is, as long as the yeast can access the sugar and tomato and the temperature is the same..

Larger containers will heat up more and hold heat longer
