This formulation will yield 23.02 liters of fermentable wort.

You will need 37.20 liters of water for the complete brewing session.


So the way i figured i was going to work this. I'll start the Mash by heating 40l of water to the required temp. add 10.45l of heated water to the grain in the mash.
After 60 minutes drain the mash liquid until its nice and clean putting the stuff back into the mash that i drained out.
Drain the Mash until there is about 2 inches of liquid over the grain and then add another 13 litres of the correct temp water then do another 13 litres after that.

Do i need to run the liquid back through the mash again or is just once enough.

Cheers
Archie
