Second runnings beer has been on my mind lately so I have put a plan of attack together..... My first "attack" at this.....Lol
I found a pretty solid Imperial Stout recipe on HBT to brew (2-row, black barley, rye, special b, 2 chocolate malts, caramunich, warrior & Willamette hops, OG 1.119, 10.6%, 101.2 IBU).
I plan to do a full volume mash/boil and then a 30 minute full volume "batch sparge" for my second runnings "2nd Best Brown Ale" (made with onhand leftover hops: Amarillo Gold, tettnang, Willamette, and nugget 26.2 IBU).
I have created the recipes at 70% to leave some room for improvement. I hit 75% consistently with a mash and batch sparge.
Do you think this is a solid plan of attack? Is it reasonable to think the second runnings will be close to, if not over, an OG of 1.040? Am I missing anything for this process?
