So I would like to do 2 10 gallon batches. Both IPAs but different recipes. I've made starters for s I ngle batches of beer, but never for two. Is it possible? If so how do I go about doing it. I know most don't typically do a starter with dry yeast because you can over pitch that way, so could...

I have an ipa recipe that my husband and I love so I wanted to try doing a special version. I was thinking of trying a partygyle and aging the first runnings with oak cubes. I've never done a partygyle nor have I used oak cubes. Anyone have suggestions for either? As far as the partygyle, how...
