Dilution experiment?

[Swifty]

I read a little blurb about small opperations making super big beers then cutting them down with clean water to maximize fermenter space.

Has anyone played with this? This may be my next beer experiment.

Maybe a Pliny like 8% monster that I'll cut in half with pure water and dry hop seperatly.. I've read that a dyverse grainbill helps keep the malt character in the small beers.

Thoughts?

Basically doing the same thing extract brewers do with partial boils. No reason it won't work, just really need to pay attention to hop utilization.
