I've done a double batch with different yeasts. But had an idea of taking two beers with identical hop rates and steeping/mashing some grains to use as my top up water for one batch. Anyone done this. Here's my plan.
6gal water
15lbs. Wheat LME
2 oz Willamette hops for 60min.
cooled and split into two fermenters.
I will top one up to 5.25gal yeilding a Hefe with OG of 1.049
The other will be topped up with
3.5 gallons giving me a NutBrownWeizen OG 1.054
Steeping a 4oz. each of in my top up mash
chocolate malt
special b
special roast
biscuit malt
as well as 1lb of Munich
I'll probably dough in and let it sit while I boil.
Both will be pitched with wy3068
Any thoughts?
