Hi,
I'm Extremely new to this.
I have the "Home Brew Beer" book by Greg Hughes. Never having done anything out of it. But read allot of the intro etc.
Just wondered if someone would clarify my understandings please...
1: I'm looking for an easy first beer mash to do from the book. Easier the better. Any suggestions?
2: Mash is where I get the desired litres of water to temp and then I add the grains and maintain the temp i.e 65c for the desired time. Usually 1hr. Sparge with water at 74-77c. Enough to take to the required boil liquid requirements.
3: For the boil I ramp up the temp to like 100 degrees and the top up liquid will have come from the sparge to what is stated for the boil e.g 27 litres and boil for stated time e.g 1 hr and 15 mins.
4: 27 litres will reduce to the 23 litres that is indicated to make.
Then I cool as quick as poss and then move to FV, add yeast at stated temp and ferment out?
Thanks
