Do you think it's possible for me to get a Partigyle out of this?

Alright, I'm making Jamil's English Barleywine this weekend, and I want to try and do something like a partigyle. Here's my recipe:

Now, I know that it would probably be key for me to just use enough strike water to obtain my pre-boil for the 90 min boil, but I only have a 48 qt mash tun, so that may be out of the question.

Do you guys think that it would be possible for me to do 2 qts/lb and then batch sparge one round to obtain my barleywine pre-boil amount, then do two more 3.5 gallon batch sparges to obtain 7 gallons for my second brew? Or do you think that there wouldn't be enough sugars left?

I know this is kinda long, but I really appreciate the help,

Nope. The recipe you have assumes a 75% efficiency in order to get the req'd sugars for the barley wine. There might be enough in there to continue sparging and get a low og beer, but you'd be better off increasing your grain amount or topping off the mash tun with more grain after the initial runnings. Trying to increase your extract by doing a massive sparge will cause tannin extraction and not tasty beer.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about.

Thanks,

If you want to cut back on batch size you could partigyle it. If you cut that barleywine to 4 gallons, you could get 4 gallons of a 1.042 brew as well from that recipe.
