I had a quick question on trying to figure out my numbers on a double mash first running's Imperial Stout.
6 gallon batch so i'll need about 8.5 gallons pre boil
I was going to do 2 mashes, each around 25 lbs of grain at 1.3-1.5qt per lb. Dough in and mash for 60 min then drain completely into the kettle and empty mashtun and repeat to get to my 8.5g pre boil vol. I'm trying to figure out how to get my est gravity #'s for each mash and set it up in beer smith but I'm not having any luck. I'm guessing there's some way to do this since it would be similar to getting the numbers for the first Gyle if I was doing a parti gyle batch. Everything I have looked up on first running beers or no sparge beers always seems to add the sparge water volumes in like it was going to be a full batch (like brew in the bag method) but that's not what I'm trying to figure out. Any advice on how to set it up in beer smith? hope I explained it well enough.
