what is happening on 12/12/12 ?
I think we should be thinking about 2013 though. Unfortuntately, the 13th month is a problem.
Oh and for 2012 12% abv RIS brewed on 12-12-12
We could brew something to be shared (that's what the 12-12-12 date is typically for) on 11-12-13. I'm hoping to be able to brew a BIG beer within a couple of months (after my move in a couple of weeks). Need to finish nailing down a recipe I've been working on that will use WLP099. I want something that will push it to the limits (25%). Might involve getting a bigger mash tun, or making a second one and split the grain between them. Otherwise, I'll have to do something else to get to my target range.
You can try mashing once and then using the runoff as your mash and sparge water for some fresh grain. I know people have done that, but I have no idea what kind of efficiency you can expect from that or how high you can get the gravity by repeating the process.
I think your best option as far as efficiency and cost is going with a split mash in two vessels.
Isn't that about a week before the world ends?
Is it possible to get to an OG of 2.012?
I threw it into beersmith. You would need to use about 185lbs of malt for a 5 gallon batch.
Thats going to be one hell of a mash.
