Partigyle Review

MNBugeater · 08-27-2008, 01:53 AM

I have consulted with a few experts on here and I am attempting my first Partigyle session as well as my first Barleywine next weekend. I need to order some supplies before I leave for the holiday weekend as I don't keep a lot on hand. Would you all care to critique/review my attempt at a partigyle session?

I have the same grain bill in both recipes but you will see the hops and sparging process changes for each beer with the efficiency at 50% & 25% respectively.

Looks good to me. I'm planning to do something similar, with the second beer being a porter, I'm just going to steep the additional grains to get the color/taste and add to the second runnings.

One day I'll do this, so I can't speak from experience yet. I did however taste recently at a beer fest the Anchor Steam Partigyle style beers - their barleywine and their session ale (I can't remember its name). I was very dissapointed in the 2nd running beer. It was not well balanced at all. I expected the beer to be a little thin, and it was, but the hops were way too bitter. I think camiller's idea of adding some steeping grains might be a good idea. Most of the goodness from the specialty grains will go into the barleywine. I think you would need to add something more to offset the proposed IBU's, either that or reduce the IBU levels below 20 at least.

So when are you brewing it? I'm planning to brew my partigyle pumpkin on Monday.

MNBugeater · 08-27-2008, 02:10 PM

I will be brewing this on the 6th. I have considered the webcast brew session (ala Bobby_M). Its easy enough to do, but I'd be afraid of everyone pointing out all my faults.

I have recently been enlisting a buddy of mine as assitant brewer and he now is asking more questions and coming up with some neat ideas. So I'm pretty sure I have created a new homebrewer out of him. He's talking about getting stuff to do extracts on his kitchen stove.

Keep us updated as to how this goes. I'll be doing one on a barleywine sometime this year.

**Bobby_M** · 08-27-2008, 07:59 PM

Just keep in mind you're accounting for the table sugar in the ESB also and I don't think you meant to since I'm assuming it's going into the BW boil. Are you turning your HLT into a second boil kettle like I did?

Boerderij_Kabouter · 08-27-2008, 08:06 PM

Do you think there would be enough juice left in the mash to do a third small beer? Perhaps a mild (1.030 OG)?

This would be a really cool idea for a party. Have three traditional English beers gravity poured! Pipe dreams rule my world.

Good catch, I will remove the sugar from the ESB recipe. Yes, after I add the batch sparge water, I will stir, varlouf and then run off into what was my HLT. I still need to come up with some sort of temporary hop screen. I have an old bazooka T that I used to use in a cooler for mashing, but I think it will suffice as a hop screen in my "all new temporary hybrid HLT/Boil Kettle".

Grab some paint strainer bags to contain your hops on that boil.
