Hi all.
I have a 40 lt mash tun/boiler with a false bottom above the tap.
The space between the real and false bottoms holds 7 litres of water.
If I mash 5kg of grains I need to use another 12-13 lts just to cover the grains.
This makes it of total of nearly 20 lts which equates to 4lts to 1kg of grains ratio
with grains "barley" covered.
I want a batch size of 22-23, so my sparge water is scarce.
My question is:
Can I just add all the needed water to the mash to start with and do no sparge.
My efficiency will be lower, I know. But will this affect the final product I don't.
