I'm planning to do two identical IPAs with different hop schedules. They'll both be 5.5 gallon batches.
If I have the ability to mash both at once, is there any reason not to do one big mash, then split into two boils? I.e. will leaving one batch of wort just sitting around for an hour or so have any effect on it?
I know it will still make beer, but I thought I'd run it by y'all and see if anyone's done this - I want the two beers to be as similar as possible with exception of the hops, so if it'll change the character of the beer at all I'd like to know.
Thanks,
