Had the day off today so decided to take the plunge and brew with new equipment
Had made up a recipe in beersmith for an aussie ale with amarillo, was trying to go for a concentrated 17l litre batch to water down as i am no chilling into 17 l cube. Only ended up with 15l (oops) and missed gravity, but you know who cares.
Had fun testing it all out, bit stressful at times (especially having to take apart NASA burner mid boil and wire brush it). My Beerbelly falsie didnt really work how i had hoped, as it let grain through, but perhaps brew shop had crushed too fine?
Can anyone give me the best way to test out mash tun deadspace and lost to trub etc and how to enter that into beersmith as i think this may have been where i came undone!
Anyway onto to planning next brew
