I thought Vinny's recipe called for more carapils than that, then again systems, tastes and whatnot. Should be a good WCDIPA though

I'm setting up tomorrow for a double brew day. Dopplebock for a fall event, and a mid level Scottish for March. Also starting a cider "kit" for the ladies for the March event, and a new wine kit for the Mrs as long as I'm getting buckets etc ready.

Cider is mixed up and done. Dopplebock is in the bucket at 1.090
Scottish first runnings are in the kettle, as soon as the sparge joins it, I'll mix up the wifes wine kit. A good day in the northland.

You planning to boil down the first runnings a bit before sparging?

I pulled about a gallon off, they are on the stove. I think the house smells lovely....

I like the added complexity doing this adds, really goes well is Scottish styles

How far do you like to boil down that first gallon? How would one do this when doing no-sparge (BIAB)… take 2 gallons and reduce to the same volume as you spargers are reducing one gallon to?

Boiling down to about half of the first runnings.

Boiling down to about half of the first runnings.

So, in your case, you would run-off lets say... 4 gallons of first runnings and the boil that down to 2 gallons then sparge the grain and top off with water to your normal pre-boil volume?

No more like the first 1-2 gallons as you want the high gravity stuff, boil that down then sparge as normal. Just design the recipe to account for this additional boil off.

Nice! I did a BDSA today that finished at 1.090. What is your fall event?

Wife and I host a fall party every year. Tons of homebrew, and usually 40 lbs butts. Everyone else brings sides, desserts, and munchies. 30-50 people depending on which weekend.

Got a red-x rye saison mashing in right now.

[denny]

why are you both going for big beers with it?

 

I'm not...it's gonna be pils-ish.  10 lb. of grain for 5.5 gal. of beer should put me under 1.050

Boiling down to about half of the first runnings.

 

I boil the gal. down to less than a qt.

I guess I figured imperial lager yeast meant an imperial beer.
