I am planning to make a Russian Imperial Stout and with the second Runnings make a porter. Here is the grist for the Russian imperial stout:
17.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) UK Grain 81.93 %
1.50 lb Roasted Barley Grain 7.23 %
1.00 lb Special B Malt Grain 4.82 %
0.75 lb Chocolate Malt Grain 3.61 %
0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine Grain 2.41 %
I plan on making a 6 gallon batch, I will drain 7.5 gallons pre boil to end up with 6 gallons after a 90-minute boil.
With the second Runnings I would like to make it Porter.
My first question is what should I add to the mash during the second Runnings to end up with a porter?
My second question is once I add new grain should I mash for a full hour, I recirculate throughout the mash. Or should I mash for less time? Not entirely sure on the process.
Thanks
