First full boil... grains steeping bringing the water to boil in the new spikes kettle
Almost 45 minutes into an all columbus version of https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/sacred-summit-pale-ale-ag-gold-medal-best-show-62758/.
I am hoping to brew an English mild with Tea added. Trying to get out of Easter with the In-laws and that side of the family.
Good luck with that!!! I tried that theory. Now I'll be up at 5am to brew my dry stout so I don't miss all the "excitement" at the inlaws!!
I'm making a summer wheat beer this weekend. We have a new idea for better filtration and we're exited to see if we can finally nail down some of our technique (third all grain batch, still a little shaky on temperatures mash and rest temps)
What were your questions with filtration and temps?
My goal is brew another barley wine every two years and have some kind of vertical tasting with him years from now.
I wish my dad had a 24 year old Barley Wine he wasn't telling me about...

If you haven't done so, do a quick search on parti gyle or second runnings before you embark on this adventure. It is basically as easy as it sounds, and a barley wine is a perfect base for starting from. My main suggestion would be to not get greedy with volume from the second runnings but instead shoot for a certain gravity. Check it periodically through the multiple small batch sparges or fly sparge. Don't add a ton of batch sparge water and risk a 1.020 OG.I'm also giving partigyle a go. The plan is to get a average to low gravity Saison from the 2nd and/or 3rd runnings.
Wish me luck!

I usually get 1.035-1.040 from a parti gyle of batches with primary at 1.055-1.060, and about a gallon or gallon and a half less volume. Good luck, happy brewing.
I was mashing by 5:15 and started the boil by 7 am.
