Planning on two batches today. First a brown ale I'm trying to clone moose drool, and second a hopped up amber ale.
Made a russian imperial stout and then used the grist for a parti-gyle dry stout. Two for one (plus a little dme...)!
Also, Brauer, that Merry Krampus label is awesome!
That is cool! Exactly what I have planed for Wednesday (10-fidy clone and then an english stout gyle). If you don't mind me asking, how much grains for RIS and what did the parti gyle OG end up being?
The RIS was 20.5lbs of grain...my regular mash tun couldn't handle that so I mashed in one of my kettles. The OG of the parti gyle dry stout was at 1.035 which I guess is fine but I added just a bit of dme to kick it up a little and ended up at 1.052 after the boil. I was reading that a classic technique is to drop a bit of crushed crystal and maybe more of some sort of dark roasted malt onto the parti gyle to improve the body. I didn't do that but it seems like it worked pretty well anyway. I think it is a pretty classic combo.

Busy beer weekend.
Wow. That's more than 250 12oz bottles. I want to know what your bottling routine is.
