Howdy,
This is what I'm planning on doing and here is my situation/justification.
1) I want to get 10 gallons of beer split between two batches. I'm wanting to do a parti-gyle beer because I don't want 10 gallons of DIPA or 10 gallons of Barley Wine.
2) I've inherited 8 pounds of Amber LME. I love efficiency and hate waste so I want to do everything I can to incorporate the LME into a beer.
3) On strict DME recipes in the distant past, I had the dreaded 1.020 finishes on batches more often then not. Friends also had this (we live in Korea and have the same supply chain)
4) On AG batches, I always get proper attenuation.
5) My brewhouse efficiency is always 75%
I'm hoping for a 1.070 - 1.090 DIPA on the first runnings. I've got Conan yeast and want to play with that. I'll boil, chill and pitch while my sparge water sits in my mashtun kind of making a super long, i.e extra attenuative, mash for the 2nd runnings. After I finish up the 1st running's batch, I'll add some crystal 40 to the mash, lauter, start that boil and then add 8 lbs of LME late in the boil (1.062 by itself in 5 gallons).
In traditional brewing software, what should I shoot for to get in the ballpark? I've got access to 2-row, munich 1, Caramunich 2, Caramunich 3.
