I would like to brew a stout, maybe not quite Imperial levels but certainly a pretty high gravity effort. I think given I am doing BIAB, a 7 or 8 kilo grain bill in one go is out of the question. I would also like to split my grains out to add the roast grains towards the end.
I guess my question is, should I be getting a batch of Pale Malt to just get some gravity in a first mash, then mash a standard stout recipe in that? Say if I got 4 or 5 kilo of Pale malt on its own then another 3 or 4 to go int he second mash plus whatever specialty grains I land on for later in the mash?
How would I account for all this regarding water chemistry and to get a rough idea of what my SG would end up as, just to allow me to tailor the recipe?
Any help on this appreciated.
