Quad and Flanders Partigyle

[Zaphod]

Ok. My brain hurts.

Here's what I've got going:
I want:
5.5 gal of Quad at 1.090 (495 points)
4.5 gal of Flanders at 1.050 (225 points)

That's a total of 720 points in 10 gal.

But, I'm going to add 2 lbs of candi sugar to the quad (about 2x36 = 72 points)

So I need to get 648 points in 10 gal out of my grain.

Random rule of thumb says 1/2 the sugar in first 1/3 of runnings. So that's 324 points in 3.3 gal (so 3.3 gal @ 1.098). I need another 99 points (495-72-324) in ~ 2.5 gal (pre-boil). I'm thinking this is about 1/2 the second runnings? Eh? Then everything else I can squeeze out can go to the Flanders?

Current Malt Bill as follows:
18# Belgian Pale
2# Caramunich
1# Belgian Aromatic
1# Special B
0.5# Pale Chocolate

Now this recipe doesn't give me enough overall sugar (about 620 points), but I'd be about maxing out my 10 gal mash tun. So I'm thinking the Flanders might have to take the sugar hit and get supplemented by some candi sugar. I also am thinking about adding some Wheat (flaked?) into the mash after the 1st runnings since I'm going to pitch Al's Bug Farm in the 2nd beer.

Thoughts? I think most of this is going to have to be try it and just go with whatever comes out...
