Awesome idea. I did this process twice. First one gave me Imperial Stout (og 1.108) and "normal" stout (og 1.044)- probably my best brewing day. Second one was baltic porter (og 1.086) & dark mild (og 1.040). Your videos do inspire me to brew beers I have not made yet

Not so surprised the parti-gyle beer didn't work out... 1.024 is pretty low. I've done no sparge on the first runnings, re-mashed (1.25qt/gal) again, then done a proper sparge until the runnings hit 1.012. The boil has already started from the first runnings, but you add that in the full volume for a 3+ total boils to reach the 1.10+ SG for a barleywine. That works great and you can effectively get 80-85% efficiency from one grist mashed twice over. I don't really care about efficiency per se, but I care about being able to make enough barleywine out of my small mash tun and this was the way to do it...

When I started hombrewing I did patrigyle's quite a bit and bumped the gravity up with a little DME and had a nice 4% beer to drink. Never had that great of success with two 5 gallon batches but soon figured out that a 3 gallon batch was better. Also toured Fullers 2 years ago and they had a nice 3% golden ale that was amazing. Very drinkable and I couldn't believe that it was that low in alcohol. I believe it was actually 2.8% but tasted like a 4-5% beer. I would love to go back some day. Really enjoy your videos sir.

Great video as always, I'm going to try another barleywine later in the year, it's a style I keep having trouble with but think I should have it work out this time. Was also going to partigyle it, but go for the oldschool version of blended gyles after the boil, makes the smaller beer a lot better and can also improve the big beer by diluting it a bit so it has a better balance of extracts.

I have a parti-gyle to bottle... but I did it all weird... not according to any style. I brew 2.5G batches. I added 1lb of 2row into my spent grains and mashed it back in. I am not a pro... I am a newb... but wanted a reasonable gravity. I boiled it down and ended up with a 1 gallon batch of what I am calling a blonde ale. .50 cents worth of grain to get a gallon of beer? Sure! Why not. My small parti batch had a SG of 1.041. I guess I better get bottling to see how it worked. If it worked at all... I might be repeating it. (I am just using BIAB and buckets... then bottle carbing.... low tech and, well, cheap! )

I started with 30ltrs and then a 90 boil to give me 20ltrs which i cubed and will look to use extract to bump that up to around 4% ABV.

Just did a very similar project, interestingly also ending up w/ a parti-gyle OG 1.024. But we bumped it up with 1lb of DME and just about a lb of Demerara Sugar, then threw in all the hops we had left over in the fridge. Ended up with a hoppy "American Amber" at a respectable 7% ABV. But, it seems to lack any real body; something I attribute to the parti-gyle process. It sounds like you had a similar experience, and I know that without our fermentable additions, even lowering the hops, ours would be nearly undrinkable.

Such a good point. I mashed for a good while for the second beer when the only thing left to extract was rinsing the sugars from the grist. Would try this again without the initial mash out next time. Perhaps would have seen a higher gravity.

I wonder if you hadn't done a mash out step in your first mash, would you have gotten a slightly better conversion during mash 2? Or maybe it's not technically even a "mash" where enzymatic conversion is happening and more of a sparge, where you are rinsing residual sugars out of the grains. I think someone mentioned in another comment that additional grains might aid in adding some more enzymes in which to do further conversion. Very inspiring nonetheless, and I'll definitely be giving partygyle a try soon

Martin, so happy you tried a partigyle, I’ve traditionally added in additional grains, as your spent grains still need a little help. When I don’t I end up with a bitter beer - not hoppy bitterness, but wine tannins. I also agree with blending the beers to reach a drinkable now beer. As for your barleywine, it needs more time to round out. Try it in October,/November it will be a completely different beer.

Great video! Regarding the boil off: How accurate is the temperature reading? I used the same method to check the temperature near the hydrometer. But in the narrow and tall vessel, the wort cools quite fast and I used to get varying temperatures - at the bottom it was about 15°C warmer than near the top. So the corrected gravity mostly relied on the temperature reading, which was not very reliable. Once or twice I had good results with this method (or I got the results that I expected), but many times, the temperature and corrected gravity was way of. When I got a proper hydrometer reading after boiling and cooling, my numbers were spot on. So I didn't use this method again...

Oh that’s so interesting. So a massive difference in temperature from top to bottom. Will try leaving samples to cool and see if they stay consistent.
@nordlands8798

From my own experiency gravity readings at temperature with a hydrometer is not very accurate (there is a reason the hydrometer is rated at a specific temperature), I therefore only take readings on cooled samples - if you have a sample tube of just the right size for the hydrometer the sample volume is small and quick to cool. I usually don't bother to take pre-boil readings anyway, since the beer usually turns out good even if I don't hit the planned OG exactly, and I can adjust my process for next time. He on the other hand should really get a refractometer.
