Split Batch Ideas
Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 2:00 pm
For 10 gallon or larger batches split into two (or more) fermentors, what are some ideas you have come up with?
Yesterday I brewed a wheat base and split it two ways. One half got WB-06 to make a hefeweizen, the other half got US-05 and will get amarillo in secondary to make an american wheat.
Up next will be a DIPA, with one half getting S-04, the other half getting US-05. They will also likely get different dry hops (centennial with the S-04 and cascade with the US-05).
Any other experience or ideas on either getting two quite different styles of finished beer from a common wort? Or even interesting ideas in terms of comparing yeast strains, or dry hopped vs. not dry hopped, etc.?
