Hello all!
I've purchased the below all grain recipe but am having difficulty understanding the instructions as this is my first all grain attempt.
https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/belgian-blonde-leffe-clone/
Firstly, I've only got equipment to satisfy no boil recipe kits so appreciate I will need to buy some extra bits. I'm thinking of brewing in a bag, I don't want to buy a proper burner/kettle and am hoping I can mash and boil on my induction hob using a boiling pot. Now, how big should this pot be? As the ingredients are for a 23 litre batch, from reading up, I don't think I will be able to get the induction hob (or any hob) to boil the amount of wort I'll be working with.
Would I be able to split the ingredients, do two runs and mix them together at the end in a FV? If so, what size pot would I need to handle about 11/12 litres?
With regards to the recipe. I think I get the "mashing" part. Basically bring some water up to 60 degrees on the hob, drop the three different malts into the bag, and steep for 90 mins (infusion mash). Then I pull/winch the bag out and move on to the boil? Do I need to
For the boil timings, it states 90 mins, but the additions are shown as 90 mins (hops) and 10 mins (candi rocks). Are these timings calculated from the end of the boil? So effectively the hops go in as soon as you start the boil and the candi 10 mins from the end? Or is it the other way around?
After the boil, I believe I need to chill the wort as quickly as possible to 20 degrees, then pitch the yeast and ferment until I hit a stable FG.
I'm sure I've missed something or interpreted something wrong so any tips or advise would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Greg
