Hello All Grain Brewers,
I've been brewing all grain since day one and have four brews under my belt and think I've been doing pretty well so far. These have all been small batches by most of your standards I'm sure, they were one gallon, and I'm getting ready to start upping my output.
I just completed a MLT build and am going to step up to a 3 gallon batch for my next brew. Based on my current equipment, I will have to split the boil between two kettles to reach the volume I need (I will eventually upgrade to larger pots and a banjo-style burner, but for now this is what I'm working with).
I'm looking for advice on splitting a boil as I know that others out there are doing it. Would the recommendation be to dividing my runnings equally between both pots by going back and forth as I drain my tun (I'm planning to batch sparge) so that both boils are close to the same consistancy? Any other things to think about?
Thanks in advance for your help.
