I just wanted to run this by the forum before I got started.
What I would like to do is mash for a 10 gallon recipe. Then run off into separate kettles to make two 5 gallon batches using different hops and yeast. My thought is I would have to sparge into my keggle, stir, then split into the separate kettles. Is this practical? Does it make sense? Is there a better way?
I'm not looking for a partigyle with 1 big and 1 small beer. I'd like it to be split 50/50. The reasons I would like to do this is my 48qt rectangular mash tun gets better efficiency with 20lbs of grain as opposed to 10lbs. Also due to unexpected rain I found my stove can boil 6.5 gallons, so I'd like to try and have to separate kettles on the stove making two different beers from the same mash.
