Double batch fermentation advice?

[acommonsoul]

Ok, so I am soon receiving a 14gal fermentor, but I only have the capacity to do 6 gallon batches at a time. Can I put one batch in fermentor and let it sit until the second batch is done...even if it is a day...and then oxygenate and pitch yeast once the second batch is added?

you can, but if you have any smaller fermenters available to you, id just let one sit, sealed up with no yeast, until your ready to put it all in the larger one. but you'd prolly be fine. you will be putting it at risk more when you have to open it up, unless you are transferring in a closed system.

I will be brewing with the grainfather, so I should be able to pump it in.
