I am in the 200+ gallon brewing range with experience thus far, and NEVER have tried the party gyle concept. I understand there are multiple methods, and I know I will try variants of it in the future. However, I am wanting to work with one variant now and need some advice/correction to my method that I have interpreted. Again, I know it can be down in other ways/but I am trying to focus on what size kettles and time frame I have. Thanks for your help!
My method
-Brewing an Irish Red (BIG BEER) in the 1.65 OG range.
-Doing Brew in a bag method--and usually mash out temp of about 170 to stop conversion. **I think I will avoid this mash-out routine in order to keep the grain more usable for second runnings.
-After mash out of First 1.65 OG beer, I will pull the bag, and just let it drain (no sparge). It may result in a log OG big beer, and I am okay with that.
-I will set the grain aside and after finishing the Big Beer, will pull the bag w/grain and place in a kettle of higher temp 165-degree??? water, where we can pull second runnings/and hope for a Small beer OG of about 1.032...
- I expect to dunk the biab for about 20-30 minutes???
Can you let me know if the procedure above will result in beer?? I know the first runnings BIG beer will be fine-- as I have done a no-spare BIAB many times before. But Unsure if I will stop conversion with my methods.
THANKS AGAIN GUYS!
