[IBU] Partial All Grain

[John Martin]

Doug,

I don't think there should be any problems.  A year or two ago I read an
article in Brew Your Own or Zymurgy about a new dad who did basically
the same thing (he couldn't find a long stretch of time to complete a
brew in a conventional session).  He would mash and collect wort one
evening and boil the wort the next day.  

 

I suppose if you were going to leave it overnight you might want to
bring the temp up past 180 deg F to kill any bacteria.  Otherwise it
sounds like a great idea.

 

Good luck and happy brewing!

I am trying to squeeze in a 10 gallon brew tomorrow but don't have a
continuous 4-5 hours.  I was thinking of splitting the session in half, 

 

Session 1 - mash, sparge and collect wort,

Return a few hours later and  then bring to boil 

 

Anyone have comments, good or bad.

 

Thanks Doug.
