Hi all...
I've finished getting my equipment ready and have the kit for my first foray into AG. I've been reading about the process and I just want to post my plan here to get any feedback or tips y'all may have.
I've got a single hop simcoe kit (which actually also has some magnum hops...details). And 10.75lbs of grain. My plan:
Strike water temp to 168 degrees.
Total strike water 3.4 gals
For a mash temp of hopefully 155 (I will warm my converted beg cooler mash tun)
Kinda thinking that will then generate about 2.1 gals of wort from my first drain.
Planning on a fly sparge with water at 185 to hopefully get the mash out to around 168. With just shy of 4 gals water to get me to my pre boil volume of 6 gallons.
Am i on the right track here?
