I want to fill to kegs and was wondering if this would work?
I make 22L brews and once a couple of samples have been taken out find this fills a keg with not much left over. I only have the regular size fermenter (30L I think) and can only fit one in my ferment fridge.
If I were to double all my ingredients in a 22L brew and then ferment to achieve something around 10%abv, then split this into two kegs and top them up with water to get a beer around 5%abv. Carbonate and serve as usual.
Would the result be the same as if I brewed at my usual amounts?
The only thing I can think of is I may need to pick different yeast to handle 10%alc otherwise the final ratio of all your ingredients once split and water down is the same as normal.
I do extract brews if this makes any difference.
Thanks
