Partigyle Brewing

So a friend and I got to talking about Partigyle Brewing a couple of weeks ago and decided that we had to give it a try. Of course we did this over a really good cigar. A Gurkha Black Dragon if I am correct. A beautiful example of a medium-bold style of cigar. It was luscious.

Anyway, back to the brew. A partigyle brew is where you brew a high gravity/alcohol beer, and then do a second, a third, and possibly even a fourth running using the same grains. The gravity/alcohol content will not be the same as you go into the second and further running, but, you will still have some good beer.

We decided to brew a dopple bock. We used 15lbs of grains, and a liquid yeast that we added to a starter. I am going to bottling the second running tomorrow, and using the yeast to make another starter as I move the highest gravity beer into a secondary fermenter.

After I am done with all of that, you have just got to know that I am going to have another good cigar. Maybe a Punch Gran Puro this time.
