Hi darryl
I've tried this method and it works OK. I made a barley wine with a 10kg grist split into 2.
My preferred method though with large grists is to do a more of a 2v type thing. Mash in with the whole grist and half the water. Then drain into a bucket or pot and batch sparge with the remaining volume to get to your pre boil volume. Hoist bag and combine runnings and boil away.
Advantage of double mash is you only have to lift half amount of grist at a time, only need one pot. Disadvantage takes longer and lower efficiency.
Cheers
