I am not to happy in sloshing hot liquor/wort around when brewing, but at the moment its the only way that I can accurately measure volumes.
My current method:
I heat up about 30L in my boiler and then measure out 11L into a plastic bucket to transfer to the mashtun to begin mashing. For sparging, I again measure out the sparge liquor and pour this into the mashtun, repeating for the second batch. I run off the wort into another calibrated plastic bucket to ensure that I have the correct pre-boil volume then pour it into the (now empty) copper and away we go.
I would like to go to a simple gravity fed system (or pumped if I could afford it) of HLT into MT into Copper into FV, but I can't see a way around measuring the volumes by hand?
How do others do it?
