hey guys,
did my first brew in new urn last night, didnt really think about hcf, just thought more water so more hops..... giving it more thought now i think ive done it wrong. the denser the water the less bitterness extracted? thus watered down wort(pre boil 35ltrs ish) would extract more? meaning i should decrease the amount of hops?
not too sure on this one
cheers

Run. Run as fast as you can from these.....
Getting all my gear ready and gave the 40L Birko a test run tonight to make sure she could do it. First BIAB goes down on Monday!
Still looking for a recipe that I can decide on. If anyone the would recommend or has any suggestions, I'm all ears! Preferable to keep it fairly simple for a first run.
hey has anyone found that the crowns dont have a very vicious boil? thus you need to boil a bit longet to try and reduce down to an acceptable voulme to OG? my first few batches came out with like 26ltrs at 1.030.(efficiency may be partly to blame also)
Ok, test done, urn is still hot & may lose a tad more to cooling losses but I filled to the 33l mark & boiled for 60mins, no insulation & lost 3L approximately. Hope that sounds about right.
