I am boiling on a stove top so I have been splitting my wort into two 5 gallon kettles. As I am collecting my wort I drain into a measuring cup then dump into boil kettles.
So usually one kettle has all the mash water and part of the first sparge then the second has the remaining sprage water...
I wonder if I simply alternate which pot i dump the wort into I can get an fairly accurate pre boil gravity reading? What do other people do?
Also since I am splashing a bit dumping the wort into the kettles should I be worried about hot side aeration? Most of the time I try to pour down the side of the kettle to reduce as much splashing as possible...
