Aussiedistiller, Home Distilling, Moonshine, Home Brew

Table is pre sparge so much higher abv. I worked out effeciencey with brewers friend.

The chart was to track my progress to see if I was getting proper conversion. At 3l/kg mash thickness.

According to brewers friend at 75% effeciency i should get 90l at 1.057. I just dropped the effeciency back till it matched my og...of 1.049 65%

Thanks bluc! :handgestures-thumbupleft:
That makes sense.. i actually used brewers friend to check mine, but i wasn't real sure how accurate it was since i used my own malt and not one of the listed ones.

good enough for rough estimate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

For someone like me, wonder if you ‘home-beer-brewers’ could put together a couple of posts that explains the processes in more detail. Like a 101 for home brewing...

Not looking for recipes, per se but more process of working out how much water, what temp, :teasing-blah: and working out things like efficiency... how to use Brewers friend and such...

Just used your method of calculations to work out my efficiency on my full mash and it came up at 76%... thats if i did it right :laughing-rolling:

I think that's a great idea Ez. A thread outlining the basics of the all-grain process would be very helpful to many people.

:text-+1:
Blucs thread alone has some very good stuff on it and if that was combined with a few other basic pricipals for anyone starting out, it would be a great starting point.
Great idea Ezi! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'm full of great ideas!

Just ask my wife 8-} :laughing-rolling: :teasing-tease:


but thank you - its a selfish thing. I want to waste less grain thru experimenting... :D

I just started a thread outlining my basic process, I will put up some quick vids when I get a chance and also some of the formulas as well. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Hopefully a few more AG brewers will chime in.

Top notch Tas. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Good stuff Tas.

Love your work! Will be following with interest.

Ripper Tas!
I'll be definately following too. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Keep you simple methods and info coming.

Mixed some wort today before pitching yeast 1/3rd low gravity two thirds higher gravity and bang on 1.049. The math works. Here is the post I used

Good work bluc! :clap:
Handy calc to remember... might have to keep a copy somewhere, remembering it might be a struggle until i use it a few more times.

Handy for when all the wort doesnt fit in one fermenter :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Well tonight is the night... time to run my AG Whiskey throught the bubbler! :happy-partydance:
Ended up with 26 litres @7.74 Abv, the Fg was 1.007

sweet post up the results :D
