      I'd do the flavor at 15 and the aroma at 5, give it a try and see how you like it. Then maybe try doing the same recipe but a small bittering charge and a huge late addition to get the IBU's, this will change the beer completely. Then maybe do an all FWH with a dry hop. Just using a single malt and experimenting with hops additions/timing could keep you busy for months. Then you can play with chill vs no-chill, hop stands, etc. There are so many variables to play with but remember to always...

      just thinking here but has anyone tried doing this.
      I have a 20lt urn and a 20lt sparge bucket. thinking of splitting the grain bill between the two doing a mash in each, then pulling grain out of urn at end of mash (less grain more water i'm thinking)
      start urn boiling then add wort from sparge bucket to urn till end of boil. any wort in sparge bucket at end to top up fermenter via urn.

      Hey there ub,
      
      The unfortunate catch in this plan is that a lot of your wort won't be getting boiled properly so you will be introducing major quality compromises. You want all your wort to be boiling for at least 60 minutes and more preferably, 90 minutes.
      
      Here is a very good article on some of the things that happen during the boil.
      
      If you are limited to your 20 L urn but did want did want more beer on a brew day, if you have an esky/cooler at home, while you are boiling up your first lot...
