Now that Saturdays will be consumed by football (Roll Tide), my brewing opportunities will be further apart. I want to step up and do larger batches. I am all grain and I use a 10 gallon cylindrical cooler for a mash tun and kegs for HLT and kettle. Equipment will be adequate. Fermentation will be split between carboys.
Now the questions...
1. Should I simply double my proven recipes? I'm not expecting exact IBU and gravities. Just bigger quantities.
2. Will the wort stratify during a 20 minute whirlpool rest, causing a variation in OG between the primaries if they are filled sequentially?
3. How much time does a 10 fallen batch add to your brew day if the same process is used? I'm expecting laughter and cast to take longer. Any other steps that add much time? Conversion slower or faster?
