So I'm not completely new at this, I've done a couple all grain batches when I had more time, but this will actually be my first partial mash. My issue is time, I only have a couple hours at the end of each day and need to get this done fairly soon as I've already got the grains crushed and ready to go. I'm going to be mashing 2lbs 2-row, 6oz aromatic, and 1.5lbs wheat for a tripel, so I think I'll need a longer mash (maybe 75-90min?) to make sure and get all I can out of the wheat. I just can't see fitting the 90 min. mash plus a 60 min. boil, cooling time, etc. into one night.
My question is: Can I do the mash, sparge, and save what I get in the fridge for a day or two and then do the boil with extract and hop additions another night? I don't see infection being an issue as I'm going to be boiling it all for an hour anyway, but are there any other issues I might not be seeing? Anyone else done this?
Thanks in advance for any input!
