What to do with doppelbock wort other than doppelbock and barley wine?

[OpenSights]

Weekend after next my club is having “Firebrew”. This brew will yield 150 gallons of wort with 135 gallons spoken for. In the probable event there’s extra wort, any suggestions on what to do with it?

As of now I’m doing a 5 gallon batch of doppelbock and 5 gallons of Barleywine. I’m planning on bringing an extra 2-3 fermenters just in case. I should be getting the recipe tonight and will post it.

TIA!

Dependent on recipe, do a mini mash with some roast barley or black patent, and do a big stout!

I like a stout idea!

Possibly add some debittered dark malt (Carafa or Midnight wheat) and some Vienna and make a Baltic Porter.

Just a thought.

Just starting to learn BeerSmith, trying to resize the batch down to 5 gallons and add different hops.

If I add these extra grains, what would be the best way to mix them with the group wort? Steep during firebrew and mix after the boil? I could steep enough grains in two gallons, my larger fermenter can handle 7 gallons, little headspace, but I’ll just use a blowoff tube.

Now, thinking stout, what would lagering do verse ~70f? What yeast? For most of my stouts US-05 has been my go to.

I just realized where I got the idea from! Lol!

I’m talking with three communities/forums on this idea.

One idea is freeze distill a doppelbock.

Love the baltic porter idea mentioned earlier. Also could do a "weizenbock" with no wheat: just change the yeast.

Dry hop the heck out of it and make a unique porter/stout.

Would mashing 2lbs of grain in a gallon of water be too much? Maybe a gallon and a half? The numbers won’t be exact Obviously. Figured out how to resize the batch to 5 gallons and added to the grain and hops (roasted Barley, black patent 1hr steep, and armarillo) at flameout. So it should actually come out to six gallons.

Thoughts?
