Parti Gyle Presentation materials

Hello fellow brewers!!!!

I am giving a presentation at a local weekly beer education class about parti-gyle brewing and tasting out two English beers that would have traditionally been produced with the process. I will be tasting out a Barleywine and hopefully a bitter if I can find one at the store the tasting is at. What I need from all of you, are some materials....

Pictures, presentation materials, summaries, anything you have seen, or leads to things you have seen.

I am working on a one page handout know to outline the basic brewing process and compare it to parti-gyle style brewing. I will keep this thread updated with what I come up with.

Please help me out if you have any leads! Thanks!

AND FOR ALL YOU SEWAGE MEMBERS!!!! COME OUT TO SONOMA CELLARS THIS THURSDAY AT 6:00PM!!!!!!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.... stop ending sentences in prepositions!!! haha, jk, carry on.

actually I'm not kidding.... STOP IT!!





well, at least don't do it in your handout.

Oh for crying out loud, I am writing about English brewing while enjoying a number of Old Stock '05s and other assorted goodies and just need some pictures and fancy stuff. I have to write grammatically correct all day and now I am drinking and not worrying about it!!!!!!! :rockin:

Help me out will ya.....

And by the way...

"Ending sentences with a preposition is something up with which I will no longer put."

^^note the irony!

if it appears that im post-whoring, it's because I am. apparently it is commendable to post-whore, while new-thread posting is abhorrent. im a bit upsidedown at the moment, and taking measures to right it.

Revvy get your butt in here!

Partigyle can get a little crazy. It requires at least on RDWHB for sanity!

To add something useful - from my experience (singular), the two beers are fairly close in color if you are using anything 350+. While the gravity drops off, the color contribution slowly tapers back.

One more thing - with my batch of equal 3 gallon runoffs, (a pumkin porter and brown) my gravities were 1.091 and 1.057. Would you like my Beersmith files?

I wanna say either the movie Beavis and Butthead Do America, or Winston Churchill.

Evil wins it... It was Churchill.

I got a pretty good start last night, but I still haven't decided on the beers to taste.

Randy Mosher's 1994 Parti-Gyle article in Brewing Techniques might provide some background. There aren't easily lift-able charts or graphs, but there is enough information for bullet points.

Hmm, I can't add too much other than the fact that I've recently done a successful partigyle.

Using my trusty BTP software I selected my grainbill based on 50% efficiency. I chose a strike infusion rate that would give me my barleywine preboil volume on first runnings. What I found in practice was that the efficiency of those first runnings was ACTUALLY 60%. I'm sure it's relative to what your normal batch efficiency is (my is 90%). Therefore, it's safe to say that your first runnings gravity will be about 2/3rds of your normal efficiency.

SO... now you duplicate the recipe file and set the efficiency for 30% (or whatever 1/3rd of your normal efficiency is) and that will give you a decent indication of what to expect out of the second runnings. The color representation will be off though since most of the color went out with first runnings.

I threw a pound of crystal 80 on top of the mash prior to infusing my sparge.

I used my HLT as the boil kettle for the small beer so that I could run them at the same time. Nice time saver there.
