Notes
Refer below for David Heath details for this recipe (which it based on).
Mash volume = grain kg x 3 = 10.96 x 3 = 32.88L (round up to 33L)
Sparge volume = target fermenter + grain kg - 34 losses + grain kg x 0.8 = 46 + 10.96 - 34 + 10.96 x 0.8 = 31.73L (round up to 32L)
Recommend increase Mash volume by 1L and decrease Sparge volume by 1L, which results in:
Mash volume = 34L at 67 degC
Sparge volume = 31L at 76 degC
Interestingly, BeerSmith recommends Mash volume = 25.58L and Sparge volume = 41.09L
11:40am - Strike water at 67 degC, commenced adding grain
11:50am - commence Mash time (note 500W and 2000W heater elements required to maintain Mash at 67 degC)
12:05pm - stirred
12:20pm - stirred
12:35pm - stirred
12:50pm - iodine test (brown result) - Mash complete, set target temperature to 76 degC (Mash out temperature)
12:58pm - Mash out temperature 76 degC achieved (Note - leave pump running during Mash out)
13:09pm - Mash out 10 minutes complete - raised grain tun.
13:20pm - Mash out volume = 25L
13:21pm - start sparge
13:58pm - complete sparge 31L - end sparge volume = 54L
14:12pm - increased temperature to HH - volume increased to 55L at 88 degC
14:42pm - boil started, added 90gms hops
15:32pm - added to Whirlfloc tablets
15:37pm - added 1.5 teaspoons yeast nutrient
15:42pm - end boil, 48L into fermenter, OG = 1050
16:24pm - added 2 packets yeast
Other notes:
Digiboil start volume = 32.5L + 4L = 36.5L
Sparge volume = 31L
Digiboil end volume = 36.5 - 31 = 5.5L
Strike water = 34L
Mash out volume = 25L
Loss = 34 - 25 = 9L
Boil start volume = 55L at 100 degC
Boil end volume = 52L
Loss = 55 - 52 = 3L
