Notes

The idea behind this recipe is to make a concentrated beer, then divide the results of the beer into 2 separate 5 gallon pails and top up with approx 2.5-3 Gallons of water each and then ferment.

It is possible to add 2 different yeasts, 1 per batch.

Results will roughly equal 2 4.5% beers.

Also when chilling bring down to only 85-87 Degrees F as when you add cold water it drops the temps. Updated mar 23 2016
