Going to be doing a first AG brew and first Grainfather brew hopefully tomorrow but certainly within the next few days.
Its an American Pale Ale that was provided by Geterbrewed when I bought the gf.
The instructions given are showing mashing at 65c for 60mins and no sparge but I'm hoping to end up with 23l wort in the fv so I'm going to use the values given by the calculator on the gf website.
ie:
6kg grain / 23l wort = 19.7l Mash / 13.1l Sparge
Boil will be as recipe 60 mins with hop additions at 60, 10 and 0.
Whirlfloc tablet 10 mins before end of boil.
I'm using Lidl water as I was very pleased with the last kit I used it in.
I just have to assemble and clean the grainfather yet
Does the mash and sparge values look somewhere about right and is there anything else I need to consider?
I now nothing about strike temps is it simply a matter of preheating the water 5-10c above the mash temp and then adding the grain basket?
