Parti -Gyle brewing

I just completed the first Parti Gyle brew , I did a Bi re De Gardie and then a Belgian Pale Ale then finally I capped the grains to make a Toffee oatmeal stout. I really like this method of brewing because it makes sense that your brew day will be longer but your saving time by only making one trip to the beer store and clean up is about the same using this method. Also it is cost effective.

One web page I found has a spreadsheet that you can use to figure out a batch size and the page also has other links to Parti Gyle websites. I will tell you that this is the only way that I think that I will brew from now on. this is the site : http://www.sonic.net/~ctweney/parti_gyle.htm

Definition: Parti-gyle is an archaic brewing technique wherein sparging does not occur. Instead, after the wort is drained away in parti-gyle brewing the grains are re-mashed for a lighter beer. Depending on the quantity and quality of the grain, this can be repeated three and sometimes even four times. The first beer is strong and robust, while the second is milder.

Beer intro first blog

Hi , I wanted to get this site together so fellow home brewers can exchange ideas , show off the equipment that we brew on and exchange knowledge of the hobby we call home brewing.

I started brewing about a year ago using extract box kits, witch can produce a pretty good beer, then on further investigation found that partial grain brewing kinda gives you the best of both worlds between all grain and extract with in my own opinion can produce better than extract beers with out getting into all grain type equipment and processes.

Then finally I went into all grain witch is where I tend to stay since I have constructed an in line three keg system. I am by no means an expert as I feel that if not careful and attentive to your brews that even the most seasoned Home brewer can ruin a batch of brew. I like home brewing because you are always learning how to make it better. So while your here, I hope you get into the spirit to share ideas and learning experiences with fellow home brewers.
