I'm going to be brewing a Belgian Strong Golden ale with the following:
Batch Size: 5.00 gal
Boil Size: 6.50 gal
Estimated OG: 1.082 SG
Estimated Color: 4.6 SRM
Estimated IBU: 26.6 IBU
Brewhouse Efficiency: 75.00 %
Boil Time: 75 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
Amount Item Type % or IBU
11 lbs 8.0 oz Pilsen (2 Row) US (1.0 SRM) Grain 76.01 %
14.1 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 5.82 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM) Grain 3.30 %
4.0 oz Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 1.65 %
1.50 oz Mt. Hood [4.50 %] (60 min) Hops 20.1 IBU
0.50 oz Saaz [4.00 %] (15 min) Hops 2.9 IBU
0.50 oz Mt. Hood [4.50 %] (15 min) Hops 3.3 IBU
0.50 oz Saaz [4.00 %] (1 min) Hops 0.3 IBU
0.50 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 min) Misc
1.00 tbsp PH 5.2 Stabilizer (Mash 60.0 min) Misc
2 lbs Candi Sugar, Clear (0.5 SRM) Sugar 13.22 %
1 Pkgs Belgian Strong Ale (Wyeast Labs #1388) Yeast-Ale
-----------------------------------------
My question is would it be better to do a single sparge at 168 with 4.2 gal or 2 sparges of 2.1 gal each, the first a bit hotter?
