hi fokes
just moved into our new house so thinks its time for a brew day. so new home new brewing method after doing kits and extract its now biab and my first go im trying a belhaven 80 ive been looking for belhaven best recipe but not found anything. ( a mate had it up scotland and loved it so i have found the 70 80 and 90 recpies) so belhaven 80 out of the bible wheeler book it is.
can i just ask a few question about biab and im looking for very simple answers to my questions.
them going through the process step by step can you correct me if im going wrong.
i want about 45 litre of wart for 2 cornies.
1 fill biab pot with 60 litres of water (or can i mash with less)
2 bring up the temp to about 70 (so once grain is added should drop to 66 - 68)
3 add the measured grains to the pot in a bag for 90 mins (how does over night mash work regarding temperature drop?)
4 do i need to raise the temperature before removing the grain if so what temp should i remove the grain???
5 do i rinse the grain with hot water if so what temp of water????
the boiling process im ok with after doing extract, should i add wheat for a better head and how much????
what is best irish moss or protfloc etc????
best yeast for the belhaven or should i try 2 different ones and see the differance
cheers for your help, just need it nice and simple for my first 1.
