  • It's come out at 1.056, which is too high (pre-boil was 1.034). I'm boiling some water and leaving it to cool to bring it down to about 1.048.

    Managed to evaporate 3L of wort during the boil.

  • Chill some hot wort now to get an idea of efficiency / OG.

    After using Brewers Friend the efficiency is:

    Conversion 58.97%
    Pre-boil 49.85%
    Kettle 61.81%

    and after topping up with water to bring the wort back up to 9L for an expected 5% beer

    Brewhouse Efficiency 83.88%

    So I need to look at sparging the grains to extract more sugars. Luckily I have a coolbox that can be converted to a mash tun.

    I'm also going to need a 15L pot instead of a 12L I think.
