    I parti-gyle mashed once, on a whim. Our beer club had a low-ABV or N/A theme each month last year, and it wasn’t a popular theme but I did try to participate when it made sense. It was the second runnings of a Munich Dunkel. It wasn’t to a particular style, but it did make a plenty drinkable lawnmower beer that didn’t last long.

    An excellent interpretation of the old method described by Gervase Markham in ' The English Huswife ' 1625 . Markham describes a second and third separation using the Guil-fat ( Gyle vat ) for ordinary bitter and 'small drinke ' , March beer ( a Spring Ale ) using peas , wheat and oats with 3 seperations and a straight Strong ( Old ale ) . Markham suggests that the small beer be consumed within 2 weeks , but the others can keep upto " fowre yeers " ( fat chance !). William Cobbett repeats the process in " Cottage Economy " 200 years later in 1823 . Cobbett was a beer nut and caned the tea drinkers in his writings . I'll drink to that .

    Great vid. I’ve been experimenting with parti gyle brewing myself. Thanks for your process details. I make a triple IPA and was tired of wasting the potential sugars left in the grains due to the efficiency drop on those big beers. Was able to make a Best Bitter style second beer from the second runnings. Basically free beer. And who doesn’t like free beer?

      Ok so I have a interesting idea. Im still pretty new so not sure if it would work. If it can then you can get 3 different beers from 1 mash. First make a dopple bock, then make a table beer via parti-gyle method. Then once the dopple bock has matured take half that and make that into a Eisbock. What do you thing? Maybe @theapartmentbrewer could give his opinion on this.

    Excellent and informative. I have been using your step mash method with a lot of styles, adjusting time at each rest for different styles, and I really like the end results. I like to do it especially with German hefe I add an extra 15min rest at 129f in the beginning and get much better circulation especially because I do 70% wheat and then split that between flaked wheat and wheat malt 50/50. With the extra rest, I get good circulation in brewzilla without rice hulls.

    Great video. I was thinking of doing something similar. Brewing about 8 gals of an ipa and then adding water to the extra 3gals for a session ipa. Use different hops in the dry hop. Just need two fermenters. I preordered the Clawhammer fermenter kegs. Once the arrive I will have to try the party gyle as well.

  • @tomoverton2138
    @tomoverton2138 Год назад

    Thanks so much for the video! It's good to see the Parti-gyle process getting some attention.
    I do something of a Frankenstein version of this between my 1bbl Spike system and my Brewzilla 35. Essentially, once I've sparged to my volume on the Spike, I'll divert an extra 15-20L of sparge water from the Spike mash tun to my Brewzilla, which to which I'll add a little bit of differing grains to steep/re-mash. A few cents worth of roasted chocolate, for example, will add a whole different character to the existing wort. In this way, I can get two quite different beers on the same brew day. I'll aim for an OG of between 1.030-1.035 in the second beer, which will easily give me a finished beer between 2.5%-3.5%.
    Thanks again. I loved that you go through the details of your process. It demystifies the concept.
    Cheers!

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  Год назад

    Oh man, you got me thinking.
    Got to try it at some point. My issue is that I don't drink fast enough so my kegerator is always full... botteling one batch might be the way to go. Always thought of doing it with a second batch sparge technique (I got a biab propane setup)and potentially add steeping grains to cap the mash.

    I appreciate it must be tricky keeping track of all these beers. I watched the other Dubbel video as well, because I’m currently brewing one and hoping to learn through vicarious experience.
    In this video you mention the previous Dubbel brew a couple of times. Both times you mention it as having flaws.
    The first mention, you allude to a problem with the fermentation. I went searching but I couldn’t find mention of that in the earlier video.
    Later you talk about flavour problems it had, caused by Special B and CaraMunich. I compared your recipes, but I found you used less Special B in the first brew than in the parti-gyle batch, and there was no CaraMunich in the first batch at all.
    You actually seemed fairly happy with the flavour outcome in the first batch. The big disappointment was the lack of foam, which you blamed on the protein rest.
    I’ve gone ahead and used moderate amounts of both Special B and CaraMunich in my batch, along with a dose of Candi syrup (a lighter-coloured one than you’ve used here, about 60° lovibond). I’ve used WLP530 yeast. It’s taken a while but fermented down to 1.009 from 1.064 over 11 days.
    I’m only tasting gravity samples at this stage but it seems on track in most ways. I’m getting a slightly sharp taste which may be some acetaldehyde but also seems to have more of the pear ester at the end. I’ll leave it awhile longer in primary and see if that mellows.
    Thanks for the videos, I appreciate what you’re doing here.

    @slubbberdegullion Год назад

    Thanks for that, it looks great. Minor query, apologies if I'm being dumb: Do you get more wort for the table beer than for the dubbel? I'm thinking that some of the strike water will be soaked up by the grain while the sparge water will not be soaked up so much because the grain is already wet.

    Wow! The color of that table beer was amazing! I was kicking around the idea of brewing a double for my next winter warmer. I'm seriously considering attempting this.
    Do you think the table beer is best drunk fresh or would it work to age alongside the bigger beer?

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  Год назад

      Thanks! I honestly believe the only way to get that color is to sparge through the darker grist. I think table beers definitely work best when young.

    Great Video and timely! I was planning to brew a Tripel later this year and was contemplating making a small batch "parti-gyle" beer on the same day. I was thinking about storing the small batch until the Triplel is bottled and then adding the small batch wort on the yeast in the fermenter from the Tripel. Is that a good or bad ides?

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  Год назад +1

      Personally, I wouldn't recommend storing unfermented wort for several weeks unless you are 1000% confident in your storage sanitation. Even in a keg, there will be a lot of sticky residue to clean off later. I would do your best to focus on simultaneous fermentation.

    Due to lack of equipment and fermenting space I made a new Zealand red ipa as normal and fermented, ended at over 6% Abv. Then I sparged the grains and mashed again, boiled, I did add 1kg of light dry malt to the boil to up the abv a bit. I hot cubed this one and fermented at a later date., ended up about 3% abv. Two very nice brews in my opinion. I’m just wondering what could go wrong doing it this way? Very keen to try and repeat this without having to invest in more equipment.

    Hello, where can I get hoses like yours ? do you have the dimensions ?

      Just some basic high temp silicone hoses you can buy on Amazon. They come in 20 ft lengths and you can cut them to your desired size

    Could you share how you determine what IBU-to-gravity ratio is appropriate? 9:06

      I wanted the table beer to be decidedly more hoppy than other belgians so I went with almost a 1:1 on predicted OG. With gentle hops like styrian goldings it makes for a pretty nice drink.

    If you added a few pounds of base malts to the sparge water would it still be a parti-hype? And I am definitely thinking about trying this with a stout.

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  8 месяцев назад +1

      Are you saying you will be sparging with wort? I suppose that could work but it might be easier to just do a reiterated mash instead.

      @@TheApartmentBrewer Yes, sparge with wort. Just an idea. I have an extra kettle I could heat the 8 gal of water in and add grains in a bag for easy removal. Then rinse/sparge with that wort for added abc and malt flavors. Just a thought.

    I brewed a dubbel last year and entered it into competition in march of this year. One of the main comments was that the beer was thin. There was already a tonne of grain in the recipe, being a dubbel, so what could i do to improve? I have an increased mash temp planned for next time. Would different specialty malts also change the perceived thin-ness? Maybe water chemistry too?

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  Год назад

      Yeah I would focus on water chemistry and potentially mash. This is why I like to step mash them, lower final gravity but still a bit of complexity in sugars which affects the mouthfeel as well.

    WLP500 and Lallemand Abbaye are both the Chimay strain of yeast as far as I know. So you could have used the slurry for both beers and get the same result, right?

      Correct. There are slight differences between manufacturers.

    Not that you did anything wrong here, but I think you might have over complicated this thing. Wouldn’t it have been easier just use the 10 gallon grain basket, let it drain and move it to the other kettle? More of a “batch sparge” approach, but would probably save some time. Just a thought!

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  Год назад

      I thought about that but there is no way to suspend the 10 gallon grain basket in the 20 gallon kettle due to the difference in diameter. You could do it if you have a ratcheting pulley, but I don't.

    • @brianeasley3515
      @brianeasley3515 Год назад

      @@TheApartmentBrewer I use a brew bag and pulley so my setup is a little different. I have done several parti-gyle brews with success. If you choose to do it again, consider adding specialty malt after the initial mash and/or adding additional grain to the second batch for even more flexibility. I did a high abv black IPA with the second runnings as a pseudo lager with Lutra. The other thing I can say is my second beer often has issues with head retention so I have taken to adding some wheat to try to combat that problem. Great content as always!
