well I have been floundering so here goes 1st ag Brains welsh ale by Roy TWOC
grain bill
25 litres
Maris Otter 4.5 kg
Crystal Malt 300g
Rice Hulls 300g
Cane sugar 160g going to bar this bit.
Hop schedule
Fuggles %5 55g in boil
EK Goldings 20g 15min
Fuggles 10g 2 min
strike water
3 litres per kg say 20 litres
say 71c
Sparge Water
mashwater=20 litres. Less loss (6litres) =14litres
\
sparge water to collect 25 litres= 25litres less 14litres = 11litres
add Lauter Tun dead space =2 litres
Evaporation 15% = 4 litres
cooling loss = 4 litres
trub loss = 2 litres
Total sparge = 11+ 9 = 20 litres
Wyeast 1214
I am going to no chill in a jerry water bottle that holds 25.5 litres, so I am thinking with the heat & sucktion 25l will be full.
I told Roy I was going to no chill & he said fine just bring it down quick with ice to get a good cold break but it would still have chill hase ?
By the way I tried his welsh ale from the keg 4.2% low hoped a real quaffer would be really happy to brew it 1st up it was clear as, no hoofs.
Questions are on brew day I watched him brew this ale in the bucket of death but he only came up with 22litres (dont wont that for no chill ) do I or dont worry will be pitching as sooon as I can so no worries
No2 a lot of people leave the break & trub behind would my 2 litres be enough for this or should I just pour the lot in once cooled & then wrack after 3 to 4 days.
I have heaps more Questions but I think I will have a go see how I go cheers
