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.

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!
Just like parti-gyle, you have to try this course. Worth a watch.
