I just think the instructions are incorrect. As I sit here enjoying a beautiful June afternoon, brewing away, I am questioning the volume of wort I am currently bringing to a boil. Here's what we have:
Midwest Simcoe Select IPA
10lbs Golden Promise
16oz Crystal 50/60
8oz Carapils
80z Munich 10
(3oz Simcoe hops)
The sheet says mash @ 1.25 qts per LB.
That's 15qts. Done
Sparge .5 gallon per lb
That's 6 GALLONS! Done
I have a pot filled with 28qts of wort. This is supposed to be a five gallon batch! The boil time is 60 minutes.
Is this right or have I messed something up.
The other midwest kits I have made (some with just as much wort) have all turned out great with the gravities right in line. I just think this is going to affect the hop utlization.
Suggestions? Comments?
