I perform a split boil for my brews due to space/gear restrictions, and the two pots are combined in the fermenter. I have made good beer for years this way, but have a few questions:
- Is it ok to have the first runnings from the wort in one pot and the second runnings in another? Or should they be mixed prior to being added to the kettles?
- Do I need to split the hops across both kettles? Or is it ok to hop only one kettle? I guess what I'm asking is whether or not hopping one pot only affects hop utilization?
EDIT: sorry for the typo in the title...
