Batch size?

Batch size?

Ideally 5.5 gallons into the fermenter. If doing smaller batches, i can do stovetop BIAB.

I have a few 1 gallon, 5 gallon, and 6 gallon fermenters.
I normally keg, but i have 12oz and 22oz bottles, caps, and a capper too.

Completely open - i can do a 2.5 gallon mash and then split it into two 1 gallon fermenters using 2 different yeasts.

I was thinking about doing this with 1/2 of the grains available:

Notes:

That looks like a great American Light Lager. For the rest of the grain, there's tons of directions you could go. A hoppy American Amber might be a good way to use up the rest of the basemalt, some of the specialty malts, and some hops. Something to this effect:

OG/FG: 1.055/1.014
IBU: 50
SRM: 14
ABV 5.4%

Grain:
5lbs 2-row (you'll have to buy a few pounds)
3lbs Maris Otter
1lb Golden Promise
.5lb Cara-Amber
.5lb Cara-Aroma
.5lb Munich
.5lb Honey
1oz Roasted Barley

Hops:
.5oz Chinook @ 60
.5oz Williamette @ 15
1oz Simcoe @ 5
1oz Chinook @ 5
1oz Cascade @ 5

1.5oz Galaxy @ Dry
1oz Simoce @ Dry
1oz Chinook @ Dry
.75oz Centennial @ Dry

Yeast:
1056

Mash:
156F

Thanks for the suggestion, that looks good - i have some mystery malt i might be able to use, or i might be able to bum a couple lbs of DME from a brewbud.

Anyone else have any suggestions? I am getting ready to keg and will have two fermentation chambers available this weekend.
