10 gallon imperial stout split into 2 x 5 gallon primaries, one hopped with spicy hops, the other with citrusy/fruity hops.
Well this beer was an interesting one to brew. We ended up not having a big enough mash tun for the amount of grains listed in the recipe, so the actual brew ended up using only about 20lbs of 2-row, and about 3/4 of the dark grains, and all of the flaked barley, biscuit malt and carapils (sub'd carapils for the carafoam due to local hbs store not having carafoam). After a VERY slow extraction (this amount of grains, finely ground, seemed to overload the mashtun, leading to just a trickle passing through... extraction took about 2.5 hours), we boiled the ~35L extract for 1h with 6Oz of Goldings hops. At the end of the boil, the wort was passed through a hop back into each of two primaries. The first hopback used 2oz each of styrian golding, hallertau, williamette, and chinook for the 'spicy/piny' batch, and the second used 3oz of Mosaic, 2Oz Cascade, 2Oz Amarillo for the 'citrusy/fruity' batch. Looking forward to trying these two side by side to compare the hop profiles!
