Beavis at Bat
Please bear in mind that I'm new to this, only done two so far. Taken with a pinch of salt then, but everything has come out exactly as predicted before each start so I must be getting close.Thanks Nigel. What batch size do you do? I am aiming at 23l although might be a bot optimistic. Most recipes use 70% efficiency i think so you must do doing alright.
I'm aming for 15L into the FV. Starting with 20L BIAB mash, then another 4L of water for the dunk, after losses to grain and boil off I end up with exactly the 15L I wanted.
I've used the Brewers Friend desktop version, which does assume 70%, and I've hit the predicted OG to within a sensible margin.
[60 minute mash @66C, 60 minute uncovered boil, sparge at about 75C for 15 minutes while the rest is boiling up]
