I have a couple questions:
1. How big a kettle do I need for an all grain barleywine?
2. I've read a little about parti-gyle, but I'm wondering if something a little simpler would work for me - after I remove the grains from the kettle, can I steep them again in a second kettle for a weaker beer? There would be a lot of grain, of course.
3. Is this crazy hard to do? It doesn't really sound like it would be, especially with a friend, but it doesn't seem like something a novice would typically do.
If it's really hard and complicated, I may wait a few months, and brew a partial grain BW in the meantime.
Thanks
