I just talked with the LHBS and got to chatting about making two beers at once. Mashing, Sparging off 13 gallons and then steeping some grains to make a different style.
My question is twofold here.
I am thinking that I want two seperate gravities, though I am not sure if it would be easier or not. I really need a fresh beer in two weeks, so maybe a 3.5% would be great alongside a 6.5%. I will be doing this at work, so won't be "paying attention" as closely as if it were a day off.
Any thoughts?
My question is twofold here.
- Should I batch sparge the first 6.5 gallons to get the highest gravity?
- Should I fly sparge the entire thing out, get the same beer with the same gravity and then flavor them seperately?
