Any Braumeister owners out there done a Dopplebock before?
The OG I am aiming for is well outside the regular range for the Braumeister, even with the tips to get the most out of it.
I can see three options from here
1. Doble-Doble mash - mash with 5kg, refill malt pipe and mash with a second 5kg
Pros - All Grain all the way Cons - Time
2. Half Grain, half extract.
Pros - Easier Cons - Can't/hard to get Munich extract, hard to find straight pilsner malt extract, I am an all-grain snob
3. Mash in Braumeister and Sparge, Drain to old keggle, Mash a second lot, drain and long boil
Pros - Similar to Doble mash Pro/con??? - Extra melanoidins from long boil
Can anyone offer me any advice on which way to go here? Any experiences?
I've read a few previous topics on High grav with the Braumeister, although only the double mashed barley wine got a high enough gravity.
