I don’t do essay questions, but if you ask about the part you want “help” with perhaps you’ll get a helpful answer. Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Come on skippy, you’re not even trying.

Two or more beers from the same mash. Usually a stronger beer comprised of higher gravity first wort, and weaker beer from subsequent sparge runnings.

Old UK technique. Make a Wee Heavy and then a Scottish Light, or a Barleywine then a Bitter.

Blending various gyles (wort runnoffs) is the most work but gives the most predictable, best tasting results.

Say one stronger beer gets 90% of first wort, 10% of second wort and 50% of third wort, and the second weaker beer gets 10% first wort, 90% second wort, and 50% third wort. That's how I used to do it.

parti gyle brewing is basically, draining the mash tun after combining with hot water and then adding more water over and over?

The immediate product would be a higher abv beer that has the most flavor from the grain or adjuncents.

The final product would be a lower abv beer that has less strength and sweeter?
