Hi,
I am looking to brew a clone of Three Floyds Brewing Co.'s Dark Lord Imperial Stout. https://byo.com/article/quest-for-a-dark-lord-layout/ (requires subscription).
The recipe calls for a double mash - a first mash with Pale Ale Malt and then a second Mash with the dark malts. The first mash is boiled for 4 hours before mixing it with the first runnings of the second Mash to create the wort for the main boil. The recipe continues as normal from there.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to enter this as a recipe into BeerSmith3? I first thought of putting it in as two separate recipes, but then I cant find a way of adding the wort from the first Mash to the 2nd recipe - I thought of simulating the first mash wort being added to the 2nd recipe by adding an equivalent a Malt Extract addition (this would give me strength and color estimates) but BS LME ingredients wont let me go over 1.045 SG. The SG of the wort from the first mash will be around 1.140. I then thought about adding the first mash wort into the 2nd recipe as a mix of Dried Malt Extract and water to equate to 1.140 but I couldnt see a way of specifying the water addition to be at the correct time and be distinct to the main water addition of the 2nd recipe.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance!
Don.
