Was going to run that test I always wanted to try, recirculating normal vs recirculating full water, no sparge, but ran out of grain!!! That's ok.
Either I'm using way too much grain, or my system is really efficient! Doing a 7 liter, small batch, like a smash but have to throw in some cascade. Just got to have some cascade!!!
Mashed with 6 liters of water and after almost all the way through sparging, 6.5 liters, my gravity is hitting 20 brix! That's going to give my yeast hell.
I started my mash at a very low temp, 63 and then moved it up slowly throughout the hour till I hit 75 at the end.
I got 9 liters pre boil. So that was on the money. It's boiling now so we'll see what happens but this is going to be a head stomper when it's done.
Total hops I'll have is 30 grams!! 10 grams nugget at 60, 10 of cascade at 10 minutes and another 10 when the wort hits 80 degrees.
Keep you posted!!
