Gangs of Apex - Big & Small

I am seriously falling behind. Back in early Feb I brewed two different beers like did the White Rain brew (Parti-gyle). What is this? Well the short of it is you take the first running of a mash and make a beer with that, then the second running you make a beer with that. The First running is a higher abv brew and the second runnings is a lower abv and lighter in color too.

So to brew a birthday beer for me and a birthday beer for my 2 yr old son I did this. The low abv brew was his called Small and the higher abv is called Big. The small beer style I was aiming for was an ESB, and the higher one a Barleywine. Below are the recipes for both.
