First off...this forum and you guys are awesome. Thanks.
This Saturday, I plan to do two completely separate all-grain, 6 gallon brews. It'll be a long day...but worth it.
I will do a Rye IPA first and I plan to take the grain from this one immediately after mashing and dump it into a tub. I will complete this brew through boiling and pitching. Then, I plan to do my standard IPA with a completely separate grain bill. After it's done, I plan to dump the grain into the same tub I dumped the first one into. I plan on mixing the two grain bills together, then adding them back into my mash tun and sparging in what some would call a partigyle. I am pitching with three unique yeast strains for each beer. This process should give me two of my favorite beers and also, a lighter, lower alcohol blend of the initial two brews. The end result should give me three completely unique brews and approximately 18 gallons.
Can you guys see any problems with the process I outline above? Please help me to shoot holes into this process so I can perfect it.
Thanks much and happy brewing!
