With time constraints, I need to push out bigger batches.
Tomorrow I'll be attempting a 44L batch using BIAB in a 40L crown urn.
I'd just like to outline the plan, and if the experts here could have a quick look over it, and point out any potential issues, I'd be very appreciative.
Plan is:
- 11kg grain bill
- 57L total water
- 5.5L loss to grain
- 5.75 boil off over 90 mins
- 2L trub
- leaves 43.75 into fermenter
- Mash with 28L water (+11kg grain, will fill the Urn). Will loose 5.5L to grain
- Dunk sparge in a bucket with 17L, then add to urn. This should almost fill it for the boil.
- 5.75 boil off
- At the end of the boil I would have used 45L of water, with 33.75 left in kettle (28L+17L-5.5L-5.75L ).
- Will then add 12L of boiled water into the kettle as it empties through my plate chiller
So should end up with 33.75L (in kettle) + 12L - 2L trub = 43.75L
Does this look alright?!
