G'day gents. After 20 or so full extract brews i figured it's time to move up to partials on the grand road to being a all-grain'er.
Whilst im 100% confident with extract, despite reading several threads here i am still a little confused and seek advice as i venture into my first partial.
I have played with my stove and can get it to sit at 66*c. I have a ~12 Pot.
I am unsure about mash thickness, i have read varying figure. I am unsure if i can even do a partial with this setup.
Im thinking the following reciepe:
960gm LDME
2KG Ale malt
Cararoma 200gm
Caraared 250gm
Wheat malt 500gm
Roasted Barley 20gm
Northen brewer ~20IBU @ 60
im looking for a mash thickness of 2.5l/kg? that'll fit in the pot for sure.
if i want to mash at 66*c i should heat 7.4L it to strike 73.6? How the hell am i going to sparge this? i guess the grains will soak alot of that water though, so i should have extra room in the pot.
Anyone clear to clarify what this noob should be doing? . Im anxious to get started on my voyage to becoming a crown urn BIAB'er, as i feel ive gotten what i can from extract, and i want to focus more on getting a better taste than extract, hence why im shooting for 2kg base malt.
