I've been AGing for over a year now and one thing i've never got around to is buying a jug to measure how much water is going into the kettle. I fill up a cube from the tap and then take that to the kettle, so i get a general idea of how much water is going in.
A few months ago i did a brew where i just filled up a 9L bucket with grain (didn't have scales) and threw in a handful of POR. Came out tasting pretty good. I think OG was around 1049?
I am however going to buy a 5L jug and start measuring how much water i'm using. Or even get a long stainless ruler i suppose.
Anyone else doing it by eye? Any brewers doing their mash temps by elbow?
