That's one of the reasons I stopped doing it. I never wanted 5 gallons of the same beer and frankly it's a ton of work for 2 gallons, especially using all-grain or mostly grain+malt recipes. It was generally the better part of a day to get it done and then everything cleaned and sanitized and I decided I'd rather hike and let someone else brew my beer.
