Hop to it
Morning all,
The need has arisen for me to get/make a super low gravity beer for the Missus... I was thinking of doing the following.
Make an AIPA with more than the usual amount of grain so that I can get a decent AIPA out of it, Take first runnings and fly sparge to get to my normal volume. (Maybe a bit quicker run off that I would normally)
Then do a second batch sparge to get 15l with as low a gravity as I can, I would assume somewhere round the 1020 mark for final volume @ about 10 liters into a cube (just went and picked up 2 10lt cubes)
One of the problems I can see is that I would need to do 2 boils, one for the AIPA and then the second for the lighter brew... long day I think..
Ages ago I read that one of the olden days practices was to separate the runnings to 3 batches and Im hoping that I can do this or... other Ideas?
Ive still got some tinkering to do before I start cracking so any ideas appreciated.
