Smash session

[labrewski]

Would 3.5 k of malt do for session ale
Would be using an all in one system with 26 litres of water no sparge hoping to end up with 20 litres in the end hoping for it to be around 4.5 abv I cant figure out software I tried

Yes you can do that. I did an APA 4kg of malt and came out at about 18 lt into the fv - that was 4.1% in the end - so you'll liking come out closer to 3.5ish unless you reduce the volume (or if your efficiency is a lot higher than mine!)

Yes its fine I tend to do lower ABV beers all the time so rarely use much more than that. It suits me to be able to have several beers rather than 2 or 3 heavier brews, it also means I can brew more regular as the volume goes down quicker
