I'm currently reading a book on IPAs and has a lot of history on brewing in England in the 1700's and 1800's. One thing it seems was commonplace back then was to do a mash and use the first runnings as the strong ale, fill up and mash again and use the next runnings as table ale etc with it being recorded this was often done 4 times to produce beers of varying strengths.
So has anyone tried this with modern grains and BIAB? It would be interesting if you could do a FV mash and use the wort as maybe an IPA or stronger beer ( say SG 1.080 ), do the boil etc, hose out the vessel, refill with water to strike temperature and reinsert the grain bag to do a second mash.
Anyone tested this?
