Ok so thought i would try converting some malt this time without corn, just have a t500 boiler and my fermenters. Heated strike water to 73c. 20l giving a 2.5l water to kg grain ratio
Grain bill is
6kg two row "distillers malt"
1kg chocolate malt
a kilo of caramalt
Temp after grain was added was 62.5 a little low but I think that is due to transferring the water to the mash tun/fermenter.Total volume will be 25l aiming for 1.06-1.08 Plan two make one lot as all grain then do 5 gens sugarheads using same grain..Be back later with a sg. Going to ferment on the grain in all cases.
