I have almost all my equipment gathered and will try to brew next weekend.
However, the more I try to be ready the more unanswered questions I seem to have.
Hoping you guys can help me out a bit.
I plan to do the 'May the Schwarzbier with you' recipe.
Grist is as follows:
7 lbs 5.0 oz Pilsner Malt, German (70%)
2 lbs Munich Malt – 10L (19.1%)
8.0 oz Carafa II (4.8%)
6.0 oz Crystal 60 (3.6%)
4.0 oz Chocolate Malt (2.4%)
The recipe is not a BIAB recipe and it calls for 4.75Gallon mash and 4.5gallon Sparge water.
90 minute boil.
How do I calculate total water for the BIAB batch?
It calls for Hops as follows:
~21 IBU Magnum/Warrior/Galena – Boil 60 min
28.00 g Saaz – Boil 15 min
Does this mean to use one of the (Magnum/Warrior/Galena) hops? Or a mix of them?
I have an RO system and want to use that with addition of minerals.
I've played with the EZ Water spreadsheet but don't really know what I'm aiming for.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Also, should I pre-boil the water to stabilize the PH?
I have a PH meter if that helps.
Thanks in advance,
AJ
