Hi All
well did my first AG today, it's a BIAB.
Heres a nice clean virgin setup
got my bag and grain in, gave it a bit of a stir and checked my temp 68.4
wrapped it all up
Did the right thing.
mmm, it was gone, it;s cold here at the moment maybe a stout.
Times up check temp 66.4 - next time I will tie up or box the urn
put in the other heater (I need 2 for boiling), I got a good boil now just to hop into it.
all done, llet it sit for 10 then caused a whirlpool and cubed it.
the stuff down the bottom
Ok so pre-boil SG 1.043 should have been 1.048
post boil was 1.053 should have been 1.055
What to learn for next time.
A 1 hour boil evaporated just over 7 ltrs (6cm on an urn that has a radius of 19cm)
I don't think I squeezed the bag well enough.
there should have been 23 ltrs probably 17 ?
I will try to figure our efficiency
