Hey guys,
I used to use a 19L pot and do nick's high gravity method, but i recently got a big 50L pot, so i'd like to step it up a bit. With the old system i mashed about 13L, then did 2 4L kinda sparges, and ended up with about 16-18L in kettle, boiled that and diluted to 19L.
However, now i have my 50L kettle, i have no idea how to set up the mash and stuff. I use beersmith and it'd be cool if i could use that to calc my mash for each recipe, do many people do this? Or if its easier just to have a general rule i dunno.
I had a look, and saw a few people talking about this but found no real answers that helped me.
Thanks.
I'm trying to screw around with mash profiles in beersmith, but i don't really get it.
