Im thinking about giving this recipe a crack as I really like Scotch Ale. Just wondering if its a little too ambitious for BIAB in a 20 litre urn. The largest grain bill Ive done in my urn was around 5 kgs with an OG of 1.060, but this is 6.12 kgs and an OG of 1.075
Batch size is 18.9 litres and I can get around 17 litres from my kettle to cube so would add water to the fermenter to take it to 19 litres if all goes well and I get the correct OG. (Which I have in the past) however I recall reading on here that with High gravity beers you dont get as good efficiency when you sparge?
