I am getting sick of bottling and even though its only 6-8 bottles per brew with the rest in the keg.
I am wondering if I can manage 36L of finished wort out of my pot so I can fill 2 kegs neatly.
Planning to up the grain bill to about 8-9kg and mash in the bag with 37L water. After 90min mash, pull bag and put it in a bucket, then pour 12L (biggest other pot I have) of 90C water over it and mash out for 10mins. Lift bag again and give good squeeze, and I should have about 43L of preboil wort.
9% boil loss and 3L to trub should leave about 36L
Will this work or am I hoping for too much
