Next weekend I have the task of brewing four 5 gallon (I need bigger equipement!!) batches for a Wedding and 60th Birthday party in October. The end result should be 20 gallons of the same brew, with consistent flavor throughout.
I was going to get starters going on Monday or Tuesday, but can decide if I should make 1 large starter, and divide amoung the 4 batches, or just stick to 4 little starters? I have 3 vails of California V that I will be splitting between the 4 (LHBS ran out).
The other question that I have: Is it worth the effort as I move from primary to secondary and to bottling to combine the batches?
Thanks for any input,
Stu
