Hi all,
I'm approaching my first all grain brew (probably next week) and am currently trying to take in as much info as i can to increase my knowledge of the art of AG brewing to get me off to a decent start.
I have been having a play with Beer Engine and making up a few mock recipes just to suss out the software and see what it does.
On the recipe screen there are a few calculators that change as you add ingredients. Efficiency, FG, ABV, colour, total liquor and mash liquor.
The two that i'm not sure about are total liquor & mash liquor.
I added 5kg of grain to the recipe for a 23l brew and the calculator shows as follows:
Total Liquor 33,3l - Is this the total water i will need to use?
Mash Liquor 12.5l - What does this mean?
Sorry if im being a bit thick here lol.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
