I need suggestions on how to fill up a 17 gallon fermenter with a 5 gallon brewing system.
1. I have no choice but to brew 3 - 5 gallon batches and add them to the fermenter. My plan is to brew 2 batches on 1 day and 1 batch the following day.
2. How would I manage the yeast when doing 3 brews in 2 days? I normally use a liquid yeast with a starter. Seeing that a starter takes about 24 hrs to make. Would I or could I make 3 yeast starters in advance? If so how would I store them for brew day? Or do I make a larger starter for the 2 brews in 1 day?
3. I am working out a detailed schedule of how the brew day would go. Some items I am looking at is how to utilize time and equipment. Maybe have 2 brews going on at the same time.
Cheers!!!
