Just wondering if some of these partial mash beers could be done in 2 phases.
Phase 1: Mash specialty grains in one pot and pumpkin(for pumpkin porter) in another. Cool and seal to refrigerate overnight.
Phase 2: Bring all ingredients up to a boil and continue as if all these steps were completed on the same day.
Sometimes I find it hard to block off more than a few hours at a time to brew and unless I'm doing a wheat beer, the specialty grains add time and steps and wondered if some of these could be done the night before after the kids go to sleep so that the rest can be done more efficiently.
