Ok so I have finally got everything together....well as far as I know and want to do a dummy run on my AG rig to make sure everything is working as it should.
This is my plan.....any suggestions would be great.
1. Fill HLT and heat (to say 70 deg...just to test control unit etc)
2. transfer water to mash tun (how many litres should I put in here to represent a 20ltr final volume batch??? I have to take into consideration the space taken up by say 4-5Kg of grain + the mash water)
3. Wait an hour and see how much the temp drops...
4. transfer water from tun to kettle
5. boil for a while....transfer to cube.
Does this sound like a sound way to check everything??
Note I still have to pick a recipe for my first AG and not sure on volumes etc at the moment.....only that it will be a single batch
Anyway any suggestions would be great.
Cheers, Pok
