Hi guys, going to have a crack at my first BIAB soon, hoping to end up with a Cascade heavy APA.
Got a 19l stock pot and a small esky as equipment, ive tried to scale a recipe i found with beersmith and the ingredients are as follows...
2.63kg Pale Malt 2 Row
0.17kg Crystal Malt 60L
14g Perle @ 60mins
3g Magnum @ 60mins
21g Cascade @ 15mins
21g Cascade @ flameout
21g Cascade dry hopped after 5 days
My main question is to do with the mash. I have set the beersmith mash profile as single infusion, full body with no mash out and it says to add 7.3l of water @ 76 degrees and then sparge with a further 11.8l @76 degrees to give a mash temp of 69 degrees. Efficiency is set at 70%, do these temperatures sound right?
Beersmith also says to mash for only 45mins, is that long enough? I have read lots of things that suggest 60-90 mins?
Thankyou!
