t-bone:
I'm making a big Russian imperial stout this weekend.  As is typical the grain bill is pretty substantial, not huge, for a 5 gallon batch.  I was thinking of trying a parti-gyle beer with the left overs. 

This is the grain bill (5 gallon batch)

10.5 lbs Marris otter crisp
2 lbs      crystal 40
1.5 lbs   Munich 10l
1.25 lb   American chocolate malt
.25 lb     black patent
1 lb        flaked barley

Any ideas for a beer recipe to do with the second runnings. 

As an incentive I will send a complementary 22 oz beer to whoever provides the recipe I use.

Thanks as always
T-bone

I'm assuming that you are going to use the first runnings for your Imperial Stout and then use the second runnings for a lighter beer.  I think you might need to up your base grain(MO) a bit and maybe you could make a Mild for the second beer.

jmcamerlengo:
yeh youre gona want to up the grain bill and only use the first runnings for the stout.

Second runnings...you can do a mild or brown ale. A hoppy american brown. Or add a little more black malt in when recirculating your second runnings and do a sweet stout.

I would cut back the crystal malt. You'll be fighting for attenuation on an big RIS anyway, you don't need to be fighting a bunch of crystal too.

+1. I think people have a tendency to add cyrstal to RIS recipes because they want a big chewy beer but if you double your base malt (I kind of feel like you are wasting money using MO here but TEHO) and mash a little higher you will still get a very chewy beer.

if you want to go really crazy try this
something like
25lbs munich 10L
2 lbs roasted barley
2 lbs flaked barley

3-4 oz bravo or other bittering hops eith at 60 or FWH, enough to get 90% of your desired IBU then something british or britishish @ 30.

Then, after you pull your first runnings cap the mash with .5-1 LB crystal and do a mild or add some chocolate and do a dry stout.
