Question about making two beers from one mash

[Willum]

I was thinking about making a 2.5 gallon barley wine and 5 gallon pale ale or IPA from the same mash. Has anyone done something similar and know how I would calculate the estimate gravity of both?

Assume 2/3 sugar first runnings, 1/2 second runnings. You can always swap volumes between the runnings until you get them where you want them.

My homebrew club did a partigyle with 2 mashtuns and kept the first runnings of each for a beer and combined the second runnings for a third beer. Then we did a sour mash with the spent grain for 2 bonus beers. It was on the Basic Brewing Radio Partigyles Gone Wiled podcast. There are spreadsheets out there to help.

Awesome thanks!

That should read 1/3 second runnings. It is really just theoretical anyways.

I found a great write up on it here:

I didn't know the name Parti-gyle, once I goggled that I found about a great deal of resources.

You might find my partigyle thread helpful, it is sort of a real time snapshot of me going from not knowing how to do one to being able to make beersmith do headstands and do it for me. I think it's one of the clearest, least hardcore technical threads about it.

Let's Partyyyy(gyle) that is!!!! Pumpkin Porter AND Ale from one mash!?!

Especially since it is about doing 2- 2.5 gallon batces.

Figured you would. Sometimes all it takes is knowing the terms. Good luck, partigyles are fun. Ours was a blast!

I actually read your thread the other day. Your thread and Designing Great Beers gave me the idea/desire to give this a try. I was just confused on how to do the math for one 2.5 gallon and one 5 gallon. On a side note, I think I am going to make your pumpkin porter in the next few weeks.
