In this video course, Main & Mill's Denny Foster and Brandon Bischoff explain and demonstrate—using their homebrew-scale pilot kit—their method for parti-gyle brewing. This traditional technique allows you to get two or three different beers out of the same big malt bill. Among other topics, they discuss:
- The basics of parti-gyle brewing
- Practical parti-gyling on a homebrew-scale system
- Developing recipes for parti-gyle runnings
- Resources for calculating water adjustments
- Planning and checking for gravities on separate runnings
- Avoiding astringency in second runnings
- Planning for a parti-gyle brew day
The course also includes parti-gale recipes and live demonstration of how they use Beersmith and Bru'n water to dial in recipes.

Very Helpful
I've been wanting to try a Parti-Gyle for sometime now and coming across this course has made the development and planning of the brew day that much easier!

Parti-Gyle brew day
I've been intrigued by this brew method after trying Berserker and Son of Berserker at Midnight Sun Brewing. Having the ability to boil two separate worts simultaneously would really help make this approach more feasible and efficient. I like the idea of maximizing the use of grains and the ability to make two unique beers from the same mash.
Time to Parti-Gyle
Enjoyed this mysterious video. You should not attempt this brewing procedure unless you got appropriate boiling vessels & good brewing software. to plan
