I've tried to parigyle once before and it didn't work perfectly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
Anyway, with lager season coming, I want to remake a Festbock I made last year. The recipe needs some tweaking, but the components are (in order of amount used) Munich, Vienna, Pilsner, Chocolate (just for colour) and hallertauer to 24ibus. It takes almost 15lbs of grain and starts at OG1.070.
With such a large grain bill I'd like to maximize my return. I know I want a full 5.5 gallons of the festbock. Could I get another 5 to 5.5 gallons of wort around 1.045 for a red ale or Munich Dunkel?
How do I partigyle a lager? Do I skip the decoctions?
