How to double the wort density on Braumeister 50l ?

[Swaroga]

Hi all.
I have a Braumeister and I really enjoy it but I can only brew max 15kg of grains for a 50l batch. That gives me max 1,060.

I heard that there is a way to brew for example a RIS in that thing. Double Mash.

These are rumors because I can't find anything well documented on this.

My question is if it will work ? What about the ph of the wort ? Can I do it exactly the same temperature program or I would have to be careful (about something) ?

The wrong term is being used. Double mash refers to two separate mashes that are later combined in either the mash tun (i.e. Adjunct American Lager), the kettle (i.e. full volume first runnings), or the fermenter (i.e. double batch into a larger fermenter).

I think what you're talking about is called a "Reiterated Mash."

A reiterated mash uses the runnings of one mash as the strike water in a second. The brewer takes the first runnings, plus a light sparge (just enough to equal grain water absorption) to add up to just enough volume for striking into the next mash. The wort is heated to strike temperature and then infused into the second dry grist. This second mash is then sparged out to full kettle volume and the rest of the brewing continues normally.

So, in your system, you'd fill the malt pipe and run the first mash a little thin to account for grain absorption. The resulting volume should be exactly what you need to run a second cycle with fresh grain through the malt pipe.

I'm not sure the Braumeister is set up to do that, exactly. But, you can always pull the plug after the first mash, set-up again, reprogram and continue with the second.
