I have a 12 bbl BK and 30 bbl tanks. Generally I have been brewing 10 bbl 3X to fill a 30 bll tank. I have kicked around the idea of brewing my flagships to higher SG and diluting to the proper SG.
I'm thinking that for 2 back to back 12 bbl brews I would only need to bring 6 bbls of water to boil, chill and pump over to FV. I assume I would need to adjust my pH of the water to match the pH of the brew as well. The only problem I see with this approach is a potential colloidal breakdown and possible reduction in mouth feel. I realize hop utilization would be different but I think I can easily counterbalance that since none of these are hop forward beers.
Anyone have any thoughts on this process? Thanks.
