Looking for thoughts on ideal wash sizes to use with a 50L keg boiler.
I am trying to maximise efficiency of my time in both preparing a wash and running it. I don't get to run much during winter due to ferments taking forever in the cold and it is frowned on if I spend more than one weekend a month in summer in my outdoor "shed" all day ignoring the family.
To eliminate puking I don't like to fill my boiler with more than about 40 litres of wash and need about 15 litres to cover my elements safely.
I am thinking that 75 litres is going to be my ideal amount but am interested in others thoughts.
If I pot still the first 40 litres to strip it quickly then recharge with the remaining wash and the low wines for the spirit run I can get both runs done in an easy day.
What do others do when time is critical?
Cheers,
Richard
