Hey yall. I'm going to do some 10-gallon brews in the very near future. I'm intrigued by the fact that you can double your output (from 5-gallon brews) for only a slightly longer brew day. I have some house beers that I wouldn't mind having two kegs worth. However, the other part of 10-gallon brews that I like is being able to split the batch and make two different beers.
I'm already thinking of some options:
Taking my brown. Flavor one with raspberries after a week then put it on nitro while the other one gets to be plain ol' delicious brown ale.
Take my golden ale and US-05 it in one fermenter then put the other one in my lager fridge and WLP840 it.
Maybe even take my Munich Helles, lager one half like normal, then US-05 and dry-hop the other half and see what kind of bastard IPA I can make.
What do you guys do with your split batches?
