Split brewday

[EskiBrew]

I've been short of time for quite a while now and have therefore not been able to brew - I've some time available tomorrow morning though so I've got a mash on tonight with the plan to boil in the morning. I've never tried a split brew day but if it works then I may well do a lot more of these :thumb:

It's a slightly modified version of my Bitter Challenge.

I'm not planning any pics as I have entirely run out of interesting things to photograph on a brew day

Hope you've had a good one

when you say 'split' do you mean collecting the mash output, then allowing the output of the mash to cool, then hours later boiling it up?

Overnight mashing was discussed by Dave Line in his BBB.
I've done it many times, it works well.
Have a good "split" brew day.

A split brewday in this instance has nothing to do with overnight mashing. The mash and sparge are completed on one day, the sweet wort is allowed to cool and the boil is actioned on another (normally the following) day.

Exactly :thumb:

It went very well - I mashed and sparged last night then let it cool naturally overnight. Boiled up this morning as if I had mashed the same day and everything went to plan :

And to those new forum members who haven't seen a brew day before :whistle:
