Hey guys,
Im planning on brewing an imperial stout based on a recipe I have for Great Divides Yeti Imperial Stout. However when plugging my recipe into Brewmate, I am getting some weird figures for Sparge volumes and temps.
I have a 45Lt chilly bin Mash Tun, so should be able to squeeze it all in...but based on the brewday info (below), and on a ratio of 3L:1kg it is telling me I need 33Lts Strike water (total mash of 44Lts, with 11kg of grain). However as Im only doing an 18Lt batch, it then says I only need 0.6Lts of Sparge water at 623c.....WTF?
Do I not sparge an Imperial Stout of this size? Do I need to adjust my ratio? I have never brewed a beer close to this size, so if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Do I need to drop my batch size ??
Cheers!
