I am going to mash and perform a no sparge method on the following recipe to make 3 gallons.
#8 Two row Pale
#1/2 Belgian Aromatic
#1/2 belgian Biscuit
4oz Choc
I have a total of 9.25LBS of grain. using 1 qt per pound of grain. I need
9.25qts..... to mash this.
I will probably loose 1/2 of my mash volume in the grain leaving me with about 4.6qts.
So after my mash time of 1hr , I add enough water to the grain so that when I drain my mash tun I get a volume of 4 gallons. Then boil for a hour leaving me with 3 gallons total.
Is this the correct way to perform the No Sparge?
I know that with my typical Batch sparge method with this recipe I would end up with 1.080 on a 3 gallon batch...I get about 75%
I dont have a clue what gravity I will end up with on a no sparge...
I just want to see if it does produce a better beer, and I want to grow a nice yeast cake for my upcoming barley wine.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
