Right the mash to my first AG brew is on and the smell along with the weighed out hops is as amazing as everyone said it would be!!!
I will be adding pics after everything is done.
Question 1 - I didn't hit the correct mash temp it was 1.5 degrees low will this be a huge prob?
Question 2 - I don't have a chiller so it will be left sealed overnight in the FV then yeast pitched tomorrow morning. Apart from the risk of infection greatly increasing will this be do able?
I've only done two kits before this apart from turbo cider and other experiments with juice :geek:
Also when I got the hops the shop had no Fuggles so these were subbed for Styrian Goldings
Will be interesting to see how brew in a bag squirrels turns out :
Edit: Another question - I figured using this method plus being the first time I'd lose efficiency, I put in an extra kilo of grain to compensate is this okay? Also with regards to mashing out, what temp should I aim for with this?
Many Thanks.
