Hello fellow brewers!...
after much research and etc, I have come to the conclusion that after a few brews the best path to take is getting to all grain ASAP.
after further research in all grain and going to a grain and grape demo of a BIAB I feel I'm ready to tackle a BIAB.
gear = 40 litre Urn, ball valve attachment, brew bag, cube
I attended GABS last weekend and I have found i much prefer sweet ales, so I've decided to make a honey brown ale.
I found a PDF on the northernbrewer website and converted it to metric.
it looks like a simple one for my first brew, only one hop addition, standard 60min boil, 60 min mash, 10 min mash out... etc... and honey!
can you please have a look at my grain bill and see if it needs adjusting?
OG target: 1.050
3.6kg of Rhar 2-row Pale
110g english chocolate malt
110g bries caramel 120
110g belgian biscuit
110g bries special roast
20g Cluster (60 min)
450g Honey (0 min)
Safale US-05
Grain and grape said they can fill this, although it might be a different brand of malt, but I'm not fussed at the moment.
where can i find a calculator to know how much water i need to start with to end up with a ~23 litre batch?
brews I've done so far:
cascade pale ale (full extract kit)
chocolate redwood ale (I would call it a partial as it needed grain steeping and boiling of hops)
any input or direction would be awesome! I have not ordered the grains yet but i would like too shortly and get this beer done and possibly kegged for a trip to Rye in late July.
