Everything else is the exact same, just 8L split into 2 demi johns

I'm really the kind of person that wants to see by himself, and racking or not seems to be a divisive subject. I have split my batch into 2 demi johns, so I think the best way to know if it could make a difference is to rack one and leave one alone, and i'll see by myself if one is better than...
