What do you think of this plan. the short version is I want to mash with enough grain to run off about 13.5 gallons of wort (+ 1 gallon at the end into another kettle) that I can split into 2 kettles.
I will be making a IPA and a APA from the wort, I will have all the runnings in a keg, mix well so it is all the same gravity, should be 1.050 pre boil. Run 6.3 gallons into another kettle and sparge 1 last gallon out of the mash/tun to dilute the wort for the APA. In theory I should have 1.050 preboil wort for the IPA and 1.042 preboil wort for the APA.
Then boil from there with their respective hop bills.
Has anyone done this, seems like a pretty easy way to make 2 beers.
The grain bill will be:
19.5 lbs 2-row 88%
1.13 lbs cara/pils 5%
.75 lbs crystal 40 3.39%
.75 lbs white wheat malt 3.39%
The IPA will be a blind pig clone and the other will be a first time APA recipe with summit and willamette I am thinking.
