love it when things you are told can't be done...are done. Today we did a hybrid partigyle. We got 1.5 beers each out of two mash tuns..and possibly an additional beer out of each tun...more later.
Our goal:
The milled grains..Greg has a block with milling grains...we're not sure what is up.
Measuring out the hops.
The Tripel. Brew in a Bag worts always look a little funky to begin with.
Our goal:
- Quadrupel OG (preboil) 1.054 Hit OG 1.092
- Tripel OG (preboil) 1.057 Hit OG 1.073
- Dubble OG (preboil) 1.043 Hit OG ???? (I think it was 1.024)
Tripel on the right, dubble on the left.

Doughing in. Lots more dough balls than I am used to.
The Brew in a Bag mash.
The sparge mash.
I really wish I was able to lift the 23 pounds of wet grain. Brew in a Bag just doesn't seem to work.
I squeezed the bag into a rubbermaid bin and sparged our water over the grains for the dubbel. Worked pretty well.
Greg's brewstand.
The down time is so much more fun in a group.
Too bad squeezing the bag is something you shouldn't do.
Me with the complex sparge of squeezing the bag.
The Tripel.
The Dubbel.
The Quad.
Measuring out the hops.
What Mark Coogan missed, beer, Patriots, food.
