Hi All,
Yesterday i did my first AG BIAB of Wainwrights beer, first issue i had was it took ages to get my 27L of water (campden tablet 24 hours prior)to 75-80 'C as i was doing i t on a electric hob and they dont match the diameter of my pan 35CM.
After the 90 minutes in the pan i took the grains out and sparged with about 5 litres of water of whihc i dont think i got much back in term of liquid(very sticky though)
Then i had an issue getting to the boil which to for f'in ever went through whole process of add hops at the specified times.
Once i had cooled the wort to around 25'c i siphoned off using a autosiphon which kept getting blocked by hop leaves, it ended up more like a pump than a siphon.
At the end of it all the OG was spot on at 1045 but i only had 16-17 liters in my FV.
So any advise or tip on how i can end up with my desired 23l and the OG to be spot on plus getting the wort etc to the boil quicker.
thanks in advance
