HI:
I started out doing partial boils on stove for 5 gal batches, then got a 32 qt pot, and am doing 5 gal full boils.
I have extra fermenters and glass carboys -
I was wondering if I can use this existing equip to do 10 gal batches if I just double the ingredients. Boil 6 gals in pot, then add wort to chilled water in each fermenter. I cld even experiment with different yeasts since I wld use 2 fermenters.
I am not looking for any "BIG" beer with this system - just some simple English Ales which might require 12-14 lbs of extract for 10 gal batch.
Comments appreciated ..
