Ok. I have the one without the pump but I bought a chugger pump and I use it when I mash. I just regulate the flow as best I can. Does a good job of keeping even temperature throughout the mash.
Hi all. So it has occurred to me that I originally got my pre boil gravity reading before sparging when I should have done it after sparging before boiling. That is why my pre boil reading was 1.062 instead of the estimated 1.041. Now my measured BH efficiency is 75%. But I didn’t hit my gravity...
Thanks for the feedback. I batch sparged.
Grain bill is 4 Pounds Belgian Pils Malt
4 pounds red wheat malt
8 ounces flakes oats
Mash water volume 3.16 gallons
Sparge water volume 4.09 gallons
SG measured with hydrometer at 68 F
I haven’t had any issues...
Hi,
i brewed a belgian witbier today and the estimated pre boil gravity was 1.041 and the actual pre boil gravity was 1.062. way too high.
now the estimated post boil gravity was 1.046 and the actual post boil gravity was 1.038. way too low.
i mashed for 60 minutes recirculating at 148 degrees...
