Parti-gyle Brewing: Getting Two Beers from One Mash

In this episode, Dawson and Chip (and the brew dogs) brave the cold for an outdoor parti-gyle brew session. The fruits of their labor - a big ol' American barleywine, a smaller beer Dawson calls an American bitter, and lots of fun.

Dude, I'm an entertainer for decades, and THIS is entertaining. The story of brewing in the cold night is exceptional. "The experience of the beer goes far beyond the glass." Awesome. Thanks so much for pushing the extra 20 for the quality, both in the beer and in the production.

[@spiff2268]

Yeah, that needs to be on a T-shirt.

[@ValiRossi]

Dawson is a great story teller. Great episode!

[@gameloozer731]

Started making hot scotchies when I first saw this like three years ago and it changed winter brewing forever. Top tip

[@maltmode]

Great episode for what was a great channel.

[@ChopAndBrew]

Chip is back at NB doing fun things again. There will never be another BTV but fun brew videos all the same.

[@jorgxqstro]

Watching in 2024 and still loving it!

[@brewmaster0507]

I love this episode. watched many times. winter in Pennsylvania now. getting ready to brew some spring beers

[@conejwsr]

This was the best episode so far in my opinion. Thanks for all you guys have done!

[@rogerschulz8721]

I had never heard of a "hot scotchey" until a brewer buddy of mind stopped me mid-brew to do it. I used a Rye and it worked fantastically. One of the best things I have made. Great Pro Tip.

[@BrewingTV]

One of the best parts of an all-grain brew day!

[@johnathanblackwell9960]

I miss these guys

[@yeah381]

Enjoying watching Dawson making this in the freezing cold from the comfort of my nice warm bed

[@futboljefe1]

Thanks for sharing - always cool to watch people brew and apply various techniques. I brew in the winter in my garage as well. I brewed yesterday and it was over 100, but, it didn't take so long to heat my water, wort, etc.

[@goku34525]

Love Northern-Brewer, been buying there for a few years now.....From Miami !!

[@Slobrewer]

In retrospect this is my favorite brewingTV episode, from the parti-gyle split batch to the 4th generation yeast propagation this is what real homebrewers strive for every brew session. Most likely because it's a way to spend all day brewing :)

[@BrewingTV]

We definitely grow hops in Minnesota! This year was sort of rough due to extremely hot and dry conditions. But we still got 'em!

[@FernandezCycles]

I musta watched this video 30 times...

[@ChopAndBrew]

Awesome!!!!

[@FernandezCycles]

@@ChopAndBrew I come back a few times a year to watch it. Just kind of a fun video with the yeast talk, story time with you and Dawson. I mean, who doesn’t love barleywine? 🍻

[@ChopAndBrew]

@@FernandezCycles Tis the season for another viewing! I mean, who doesn't love a brew dog show day as well, right? RIP, sweet Resa. Charlie P is now 13 years old and showing his age a lot, but he's always down for chilling in the kitchen on an indoor brew day.

[@FernandezCycles]

@@ChopAndBrew Charlie P is ma boy! Glad he’s staying warm and happy this frigid big beer brewing season! RIP Resa indeed, she was the goodest girl.

[@jesusVSsanta]

I am definitely going to try a "hot scotchie" next time i brew!

[@crowtservo]

8-Bit Homebrew I didn't have Scotch this past winter when I brewed so I made a Hot Rummy.

[@ncouchot]

Really awesome production... well done. Bravo.

[@richardsprunger1464]

You guys are awesome! You’ve helped me so much.

[@kickblue22]

That was fun. Just ordered my first brewing equipment from Amazon and was looking around for something to watch while I wait the 5 or 6 days until it arrives.....This'll do! :)

[@Akerfeldt77]

Wish I'd found these guys years ago

[@supplex5]

oxygen during the re animation and reproduction phase is critical for sterol production, which helps in cell wall fluidity, and therefore downstream resistance to higher alcohol levels. It;s pretty important

[@sadhollow7340]

I enjoyed the story about the Russian Stout.

[@ChopAndBrew]

Blam!

[@therigglet3548]

Quick note on pronunciation: the 'w' in the middle of Warwick and Chiswick is silent. I know I'm being pedantic but as an Englishman it jars ever so slightly. Love the content though. A fantastic resource and full of information.

[@maxsmith5720]

Watching this for the third time. It's good.

[@BasilWallace]

I miss you guys.

[@mrbillings7239]

are they dead, or did you move?

[@emilianopaez8672]

you can follow on donosborn on youtube

[@BlackCoffeeGeneral]

I've read it's actually good for the hops to freeze during the winter. I am too far south to grow hops. The constant heat exhausts the plants.

[@jordhuga271]

Great content. Very entertaining. Learned about my soon to be new favorite drink "Scotchie"

[@PureAsGold]

Could you do an episode on growing then harvesting your own hops?

[@80westy]

HaHa beer snobs. I love it. I watched your video whilst drinking a Bud Lite. Normally, it would have been a PBR, but I'm out. Anyway, great video and entertaining to boot. Hope to do some home brewing this winter.

[@acmebrew]

When I drink a 'Scotchie' I set aside the first wort for the Scotchie and save it for after the brew day is done. It's a great reward at the end of a long, cold brewday. It also has the added benefit of settling out the liquid so your Scotchie is nice and clean. After the brew and cleanup is all done, gently reheat your Scotchie in the microwave and when it's hot add your Scotch. I choose the Scotch based on the grain bill, for example, a nice smoky Islay Scotch to go with a Scottish ale. Or a Highland malt like Macallan to go with wort from a Strong Golden ale. In any case, it's a delicious reward that only brewers get on brew day.

[@Caffiend001]

Is it wrong I'm considering another brew day for the Hot Scotchie?

[@Darkscoupe]

awesome explaining and great video thanks!!

[@LagrandHogan]

ah COME on. 17-25 episodes, where they be? btw this was a most excellent episode.

[@ChopAndBrew]

Who is voting this shit down?

[@brewmaster0507]

idiots. best episode ever.

[@agentPLINY]

This episode, and "Decoction Day" are my favorite episodes of BTV! Don't get me wrong, all of the original episodes were awesome!

[@mrbillings7239]

I will, but only because you said something about it.

[@lucaserpelding7112]

I agree, this episode, Decoction day and iSoloBrewMaster are my favorites! Have watched them countess times

[@robertmiranda7129]

Not me. One of the best - and even better camera work there. I plan to attempt to replicate this brew day.

[@perogi21]

Thanks for a great video! I'll be thinking of you when I brew with my electric brewery inside this winter :-)

[@clyons17]

How do you keep the propane warm?

[@dgayle17]

awesome video. I really want to do a partygyle soon I agree with you on the experience of brewing. my buddy and I brewed my annual batch of christmas ale about a month ago and it was the hottest day of the year here in Indiana. When we crack them open in mid december I'm sure we will commiserate/reflect on how hot it was that day.

[@christopherlawrence3088]

yea i was ab to get into home brewing.. i thought i learned all i could.. now i realize i know nothing at all.. but awesome vid now i can wrack my brain for 40 more hours.. :)

[@zencat999]

doin one of these weekend after next! cant wait. PARTY GYLE!

[@buckbundy8642]

Love the video! Thats a wicked cooker setup you have, def jealous lol

[@JuanFlores-tn8xj]

badass video fellas!!!

[@duckmanco04]

Favorite episode of the now dead BTV ever. How NB managed to kill off every reason I bought from them we'll never know.

[@tricache]

Be it the Star Wars references, the making of beer or the fact that it looked so cold there I am confused at why you used an chiller at all...this whole video is awesome

[@ChopAndBrew]

Preach!

[@ChopAndBrew]

It was a good day to be a Minnesotan. (Chip)

[@madhowes2757]

I live near by and want to get started. teach me please...

[@yambor44]

Another great video. Have you guys done one on yeast washing yet?

[@BrewingTV]

Not crazy in-depth, but Dawson does some in the episode called "iSoloBrewMaster"

[@eddiebosox]

how long do you let the starter flask boil? i thought you have to do it for 5-10 minutes to sanitize, but it looks like you just did it right after the boil over.

[@ubcphilco]

Are we getting WARM prior to the hop ad? A little round-a-bout with the puppies, hahaha. Question, you said home grown hops, can you grow hops that far north?

[@morbode]

Ugh, its videos like this that re-affirm my belief that I will never be able to "brew" anything more complicated than mead.

[@SeaMonkeyLad]

You never hear folks talking about late wort run used as a base for a braggot. Honey is a great way to fortify a runoff that would otherwise be a small beer. Have you ever done a braggot video?

[@upgrayddable]

Ha! How funny you mention that but I am drinking a braggot right now that was the last runnings of a Maibach mash two years ago.

[@grant.bloomquist]

Cool video, ok, top 10 mid-level all grain vid on youtube- however since it's youtube gotta point out-explaining/describing the Oxygen infusion rates in a stir plate as a trickle shows a lack of scale, a stir plate constitutes a complete infusion of every available molecule, more tsunami than trickle. Your still cool as rocky mountain water in general!

[@HuckinFippie]

@djdevelope32 Steeping grains doesn't extract any sugar, just color and some flavor.

[@jaymckay4086]

oh man ive had a Golden Ale "dangerously drinkable" night. I know what you mean! haha Great video

[@gibiore]

Is there an episode where they have tasting notes for this?

[@chadlorraine2910]

Where's the link for the recipes? Looking for the Warwick Golden details....it shows at about 12:21 "Recipe Link under Episode". Not seeing it...Any Help?

[@brianfsanford]

What happened to episode 25?

[@industrialkhaos]

The honey was it pasteurized?

[@sprobro6694]

I am about to do my first big beer. You show a barley wine from a bottle that is well (maybe over) carbonated. I've heard bottle conditioning is difficult in high ABV beers due to stressed yeast. Did you force carb in a keg then go to bottle?

[@LazyPlumber89]

Why heat up the yeast using a burner instead of a hot plate?

[@Starrwulf7]

my dixlexia did not let me read that label on the bottle very well......

[@ludi2shoes]

You guys do any malting or do you just buy the pre malted grain?

[@danieldow5500]

why didnt you just yeast wash the wooki??

[@Heffelz8]

Beer AND StarWars? Subscribed.

[@MazzaJF]

VVVV, What do you say we stick to Beer, sound okay?

[@hepburn118]

if microbiology taught me anything its that yeast can be aerobic or anaerobic so trying to oxygenate the yeast starter is a waste of time, it doesn't need it.

[@ElBosquee]

Well, yeast cells feel different about that

[@StoneyardVineyards]

Brew man brew

[@crowtservo]

It’s -30 out tonight. I told my wife “I’m gonna go outside and brew tonight.” She said “No you’re not, I’m not gonna push your frozen corpse out of the way so I can get to work tomorrow.” I said “Yeah, I’m not. I just wanted to see what you would say to something like that.” For me, it has to be over 25 to get me to brew outside.

[@josecorripio16]

what the fuck happened to that dogs eye? can he change his colors? cool superpower 7:41

better nick a stir plate from the lab next practical day then and thump the tutor for not telling us that!!

This is My FAVORITE Brewing TV Episode ❤️🤘🤓🍻❤️

[@MysteryFishBrewery]

My favourite of all BTV videos - you wouldn't believe how often I've watched it. Science, poetry, history and sheer entertainment - it has it all. I'm an outdoor brewer in the North West of England, but we rarely experience winter temperatures below -5 'C. Can I still justify having a hot scotchie?

[@MysteryFishBrewery]

...oh wait, we just have experienced temperatures below 5'C - and I brewed! Lovely.

[@jeffreylyons1531]

@@MysteryFishBreweryI miss them, glad you enjoyed this aswell.

[@ed230]

This was the best thing northern brewer ever did .... shouldn't have stopped very unfortunate

[@YankeeinSC1]

eGad. I see that snow piled high @ 19:38 and the cold weather wear and I remember why I moved south. I do miss the intelligence and humor of the average guy north of the Mason Dixon line, but I'll just have to watch youTube because I sure the "F" ain't moving 'back. Interesting technique, but I also doubt I'll be trying any barley wine soon, I can't even drink most imperial stouts. Anything that strong and I'd rather have bourbon. Thanks for the laughs...

[@dubiousprime2021]

i wanted to get back into brewing, and this was the first video i went to. parti-gyle is amazing.

[@BrewingTV]

Awesome! What sort of styles are you interested in brewing first in your comeback?

[@dgayle17]

awesome video. I really want to do a partygyle soon I agree with you on the experience of brewing. my buddy and I brewed my annual batch of christmas ale about a month ago and it was the hottest day of the year here in Indiana.

[@chapter4travels]

Minus the hops this would be a great wash for a single malt home distilled whisky.

[@ispunked]

Greg White yes definitely!

[@senormac]

So good !! Thx Chip and Michael !!

[@BrewingTV]

Glad you liked the video. Those old videos were a blast to be a part of. (Chip)

I miss you guys. I really enjoyed this content over the years, I took about 5yrs off from brewing and missed it the whole time. About to. Start back on some 3 gallon biab style. Thanks for the memories, none more black.

[@LagrandHogan]

I feel stupid. found you on northernbrewer. i blame the 8 hours of watching you on youtube and reading up on brewing making my brain into mush.

Jose Whatts some dogs have eyes with different colors but in this case he actually looks blind from one eye... :(

[@АндрейКовальченко-ь2х]

Красивое пиво, чудесная пенка! Какие хмеля предпочитаете....

[@industrialkhaos]

The brew that had the honey in it turned out really well and the bulk of it is being bottle conditioned. If just dropping it in after first croizen works then sure. I added my honey to 1 litre of water and heated to 80 Deg C for 20 minutes, then when it cooled it went into the fermenter with the wort at the beginning of the process.

Like I told Dono a short while ago. I have learned a lot from the Minnesota brewers. Thanks for all the brewing knowledge. This vid I totally enjoy ( I have watched it several times) . I like it mostly for the brew day experience. Brew days with friends are special.... Cheers!

Sisyphus is way better than their Full Moon Rye Pale Ale.

[@olipreston1]

Great video, thanks. Found your yeast handling info really helpful. Have to say though, as a Brit, I feel compelled to tell you it's pronounced 'Warrick', not Warwick, despite the wacky spelling.

[@ChopAndBrew]

I think Warwick might have been a reference to street name near Dawson's house in St. Paul. Only my guess.
