I'm making a batch of Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout in a few weeks. When I made the last batch I did 15 gallons using 4 coolers. We did a mash and a single MLT drain without any sparging. I was a little low on my numbers, but it turned out OK.
It seemed like I was leaving a lot of good sugar behind in the mash tuns. I've heard of people doing second runnings with barleywines and strong ales. Do people do second runnings beers using a Stout recipe? How did it turn out? Is it worth doing?
I'd hate to waste 100lbs of grain by leaving a second batch of OK beer behind.
