BIAB No Chill

[philired1]

I would like to know if it is possible to do a no chill maxi BIAB. I want to do a 18l in fermenter with a no chill. I have a 15l cube. If i was to put 14.5 l into the cube and top up the fermenter to 18l. The recipe is as follows for 18l. It is for a dunkel weizen.
2.25kg wheat malt
1.11kg Munich 1
390g Caramunich 2
40 Carafa 1 special
22g Hallertau pellets

Entirely possible.

You might wanna boil the top up water just to sanitise it first.

You should get more than 15L into your cube. My 20L cube ends up taking 22 to 23L hot wort. You could do a trial of just 18L of hot water and see how much you get into your 15L cube.

Sounds entirely feasible to me, should be a cinch.

You'll get 17L into the cube and maybe lose 1/2 L in trub, brew a few points over gravity (use brewers friend calc) and top up with 2 L or so
