Hey gang,
I built myself a bottom draining mash tun from a decommissioned black rubber coated keg & I've got a false bottom in place. My question is regarding mash volumes. Should I measure the space below the false bottom to the drain (maybe .5-.75g) and then add this volume to my usual mash water volume? Just worried about having too thick of a mash. I used to brew in a bag so this false bottom thing is new for me. On the plus side, the super insulated mash tun holds water temperatures for hours...two degree drop over 10 hours (it's layered with reflectix).
Any advice on the mash volume would be greatly appreciated!
