Hi guys,
I've recently moved from doing kits and bits into mini mashing and all grain brew in a bag. I'm loving the freshness of the mashed and specialty grains. I do however need to throw down a brew with limited time this weekend and I was thinking of doing a mini mash but use a kit to eliminate doing a full 60min boil and having to cool a full 23L wort.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Coopers heritage lager kit 1.7kg
2.0kg of Ger pilsner malt
0.5kg of carapils
Mash grains in 10L of water @ 66Deg for 45min (BIAB Style)
Remove grain bag and boil for 20min and add hops as follows
10g citra @ 20min
10g citra @ 10min
10g citra @ 5min
10g citra @ 2min
Add kit at end of boil. Cool wort, add to fermenter and top up to 23L with cold water. Pitch yeast and ferment at 17Deg.
Will it work and will it taste any good?
