could someone explain when you start your mash in the boiler do you contain all the grains in a grain bag. I think this is the correct way i cant think you put the loose grains in the boiler or do you......

thanks ive now learned the basics will be using grain bag the guy at our local brew shop reccommended the electrim boiler as it steeps the grain then boils the wort.Cussword said:Hi Mark, if it's boiler & mash Tun, then yes, keep the grains in a grain bag. That way it's easier to seperate for the boil :thumb:

The way I understand it, is the grains go in your mash tun - an insulated vessel of some sort - you heat water in the boiler, and then a proportion of that goes into the mash tun to 'mash' the grain.
The hot water is left in the insulated mash tun for 90 minutes, then the remaining water in the boiler is heated up and slowly run through the mash tun - sparging.
The collected wort gathered from the mash tun is then moved to the boiler and it is boiled up in there with some hops.
I've never heard of putting the grain in the boiler :hmm: :whistle:
i think i explained wrong apparently you mash the grain in the boiler which maintains the temp then you run off the wort sparge the grain return to the boiler then boil i think?????
Doesn't mean that isn't possible though
ok will do i understand most of the process nowCussword said:Hi Mark, if it's boiler & mash Tun, then yes, keep the grains in a grain bag. That way it's easier to seperate for the boil :thumb:
