My brother and I have recently started brewing with the BIAB method. And at the same time we both went from bottles to kegging. ( should of done this years ago). I have a couple questions in regard to brewing the larger quantity of beer.
1. We have a 15 gal sanke keggle as our kettle. According to beersmith with 23lbs of grain our full volume ( water and grains during mash) should be around 14.5 gallons. Should we be ok with this kettle?
2. Is it as simple as finding a 5 gallon all grain recipe and multiplying by 2?
3. Do mash times change?
4. After the boil and cooling the wort is it ok to split the chilled wort Into two separate 6 gallon plastic fermenters?
Thanks!
