Im looking to brew an 1.106 SG Imperial Stout that will rest in a bourbon barrel. Im brewing a 17 gallon batch but the grain bill (57 pounds) is larger than my mash tun will hold. Could it be as simple as splitting the grain bill in half, and mashing twice? Or will I run into problems? My boil pot is 20 gal, so no problem there. My thought is to mash half, sparge into the boiler as usual, then repeat a second mash. Then continune with the recipe.
Thanks! Beau
