I will brew Brewing Classic Styles Old Monster American Barleywine next week. The recipe has 2 lbs crystal, .25 lbs pale choc, and .25 lbs special b. I want to make a pale ale with the second runnings. I will add dme to the barleywine and/or pale ale if I don't hit gravity targets.
Should I consider steeping some crystal in the second runnings beer? I have heard that second runnings beers can be a little thin?
On the other hand, if the second runnings beer gets about 1/3 of the sugars/malt, then it would have .67 lbs crystal plus a little pale choc and special b. That seems like a reasonable pale ale malt bill without adding crystal.
I've never done a partigyle before, so hoping for some help.
Thanks.
