I'm interested in this, I'm making an imperial black IPA. I was wondering if making a black IPA would be feasible.
Not a problem. This combination of brews work very well. After I gather enough wort at the SG I need, I cap the mash with a smaller addition of grain in the same proportion as the first mash, 4 lbs of base etc. I will mash this in and let it sit while I finish my first boil and chill. I have been getting great results. Good Luck
So you did this for a 10 gallon batch, what if I wanted to try this with a 5 gallon batch. Start with the recipe for my imperial bipa, mash sparge. Like a normal batch. Could I just sparge bigger and take those runnings and make another smaller 5 gallon black IPA ?
How do you calculate the temp of your second batch of strike water? The bulk of the mass shouldn't be too far off of mash temp at that point, correct?
