Honey, put on that party dress
Hey, folks.
I'm brewing a Belgian dubbel this weekend. Doing a no-sparge, full volume batch for the first runnings. Grain bill includes Belgian 2-row (~70%), and the rest aromatic malt, CaraRed, Special B, and D-180 candi syrup.
I'd love to hear some ideas about possibilities for the second runnings batch. I was thinking of capping the mash with about 8 pounds of SOMETHING that, when remashed with the existing grist, then drained and boiled, would yield an OG of about 1.040. I was thinking of a blend of Belgian 2-row / pilsner and CaraMunich for a (mild?)Belgian amber.
(BTW: props to Kai's Parti Gyle Simulator spreadsheet. Use it all the time!)
Thoughts?
