Just mashed in on an American Barleywine, it felt weird to use 15.5lbs of grain for a 3 gal batch.  I'm still on the fence on whether to try partigyle as all my previous attempts produced thin beers.  If anyone has any tips, I'm all ears.

A good approach is to make the BW with first runnings and have some DME on hand to adjust up the SG if a little low when it's time to boil the wort.

And then use the second runnings (sparge runoff) for a small beer such as a bitter, or at the very least collected and frozen for starter wort for future brews.

Making a Breakfast Milk Porter (?).  Someone I work with told me I should make something like that, so who am I to argue. 

4.5 lb    Maris Otter Pale (UK)   
0.75 lb    Rye (DE)   
0.75 lb    Crystal 45L (UK)
0.5 lb    Flaked Oats
0.5 lb    Pale Chocolate (UK)   
6.5 oz    Lactose (Milk Sugar)
3.2 oz    Roasted Barley
3.2 oz    De-Husked Caraf III
2.5 oz    Extra Dark Crystal 120L    

Doing a lot to try to build body and flavor and keep the ABV around 3.8%.  This is a first swing at it, so I'll adjust based on what this turns out like.  Fermenting with 1728 (was going to use 1968 but someone got to the last one at the shop 20 minutes before me).

Risk of failure should be no deterrent to trying.

I read that as "breast milk porter" at first lol

Didn't PETA propose something creepy like that?  I think it was breast milk ice cream.

Brewed up my ESB today. Finally honing in on this recipe that I really like for the style. Simple, yet delicious.

Would you care to share?  I have a pile of Maris Otter that I need to burn through so an ESB would be a good use for it.

Of course.  Just let me put the kids to bed and I will post it.

5.5 gallon batch
100% RO water
no-sparge at 59% efficiency
8 SRM

1.014-1.016 FG
60 min boil

13# Maris Otter
8 oz English Light Crystal (20-27L)
4 oz English Crystal 60L
2 oz Special Roast

5.2 gallons Strike Water (1.5 qt/#)
mash at 152-153F/60 min
2.6 gallons mash-out water at 200F to hit around 168F for 10-15 min mash-out

5.4 mash pH
54 ppm Ca, 13 ppm Mg, 8 ppm Na, 112 ppm SO4, 55 ppm Cl

38-40 IBU's
1 oz Centennial - FWH

Obviously, there are some variations in there such as ferment temp, mineral additions, sparge process, yeast strain, and knockout hop amounts. Be sure to adjust base malt amounts for your system efficiency as well as the 60 minute EKG addition for Alpha Acids. Any other questions feel free to pm me.

Cheers brother!

I am planning an all grain version of my Blood Orange Hefeweizen for this weekend, if my Marzen cooperates and I can bottle it on Sunday.  It's been sitting at 1.015 for 2 days, so I am going to check again on Thursday and hopefully cold crash then.
Bottled/Drinking:  Born Again Heathenweizen, Mongrel Belgian
Fermenting:  None
Future:  Undecided...too many to choose from

Great looking recipe, Rob.

Thanks.  This is my second go-round with this exact recipe, so we shall see how repeatable it really is. The first went fast and was enjoyed by many. Even bagged a gold medal with it at a comp in Ohio.
