Parti-gyle: AT-AT/AT-ST

The title is probably a strange combination of letters to many of you, but what I will be brewing tomorrow has been a standard practice for a long time. Parti-gyle is a brewing style where the grains are re-mashed to create a second beer with a lower alcohol content. Traditionally the beer made from the first mashing would be given to the ruling class, and the subsequent mashings would have been drank by lower and lower classes.

The AT-AT is an imperial IPA, and the AT-ST will be closer to a standard IPA. The build list for the AT-AT is below, and the AT-ST will be a lower gravity (2-legged) version with a much smaller hop schedule.
