I've searched and I know there are some people doing this but I have some specific questions. Currently I have a Keggle/Turkey fryer set up with a cooler MLT in the back yard which is ideal for me in the spring and fall. Summer time however work is busy as crap so by the time I get home its well past dark by the end of brewing and I dont have exterior lighting proper enough to brew in the dark. Secondly its hot as all get it out and even starting at 8 in the morning on my days off it's 95 by noon. Also when its freezing cold here this would be nice in the winter as well.
I know from the extract days I can get 7 gallons between two pots boiling on the stove. So here are my questions that would like some one to back my thoughts:
1. Can I still batch sparge and split the runnings to boil and then combine later in the fermentor? I realize that the starting gravities between with two will not be equal. It seems to me it should be no different when combining than adding water to extract brewing.
2. During hop and adjunct additions would it make any difference what pot I add them to? I seem to think that the extract water theory from the previous question applies. It would be less gunk straining to keep it all in one pot.
