So I have a big party coming up and I want to brew 15 gal of beer to fill a sankey keg with. I've decided on brewing Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde, as it will be a big crowd pleaser. I have equipment to brew 10 gal batches...my thought is this:
I put the 5 gal recipe into Beersmith, and then scaled it to 15 gallons. It's a light enough beer that all this grain will still fit in my mashtun. Can I mash/brew 10 gallons this beer (with enough grain in there for 15 gallons)...boil and cool 5 gallons of water, add it to my fermenter (a 20 gallons food grade bucket), and then rack my 10 gallons of extra-strong centennail blonde onto the 5 gallons of water...leaving me with, if logic is serving me correctly...15 gallons of Centennial Blonde, at its proper strength/taste/etc. ?? Is there anything wrong with my plan here?
Thanks!
