Ok, sorry if this has been answered already but I searched and couldn’t find it. I’ve heard from some brewers I’ve met that when they brew a big beer (ie: barleywine) that they do two batches. The first is their big beer then they resparge and get a second, low gravity beer. How exactly is this done?
After sparing for the first time, do you just let the grains sit there while you boil and cool, then do you sparge again? Do you remash somehow?
I’m getting ready to formulate a barleywine and would love to try this out.
EDIT: Sorry, title should read, "Two beers, one mash, how to do it?". Remember folks, always proof read.
