Hi Everyone,
Moving from Kit (skipping Extract) to all grain BIAB.
Want to get my hands on a pot (i have gas burner + bag), but not sure how big a pot I need.
My FV is a plastic bin (25L - standard coopers plastic one) with airlock.
How big does my pot need to be so that I can add water + grains and come out with enough to fill my FV, but obviously leave space for krausen etc. I am not sure on the calculations involved, but pretty sure with boiling off and adding grain, a 25L pot is too small?
I guess what i want is . (Z) malt X (y) Water = input. - What i lose to evaporation over 1 hour @ boil = How much i need to top up to get a final brew length of 23L.
thanks!
