The brewery made a killer RIS, and with the second runnings had an awesome black ale. RIS is OK, but I really like the black ale, but the question is:
When you have a first runnings, what portion of the sweet wort comes off first, and what remains to be sparged?
I sense that just writing some sort of black ale will not give me what the second runnings of the RIS will.
It seems that the RIS second runnings will have a different flavor than just trying to write a thin RIS, or diluting to 10g's a 5g RIS.
Anyone offer any ideas?
