So I did my first parti gyle over the weekend. First beer was an Imp Stout that came out at 1.094 OG. The second runnings came out to be 1.042 OG and is looking like a brown porter. From what I've been reading, these "second running" beers typically turn out with a lackluster malt profile. So, in order to get a bit more character into this beer, I was thinking of dry hopping it. A couple questions:
1.) Does anyone have experience with second runnings beer from a parti gyle? Did you find it didn't have much malt character?
2.) What dry hops has everyone had success with in a hoppy porter/stout? In the boil I used Columbus and Willamette.
