Prepare ahead of time

• measure out hops, bag and record timing to add

Make Wort (~3hr)

step 1) mashing in (1hr)

• bring 20.68L Liter water to 68c (+6c)
• record temp
• Strike Water + Grain
• stir to keep from clumping
• record temp + volume

step 2) starch conversion (1:15hr)

• wait 1:15 (duration is recipe dependant, often, 1hr)
• periodically stir to keep temperature even
• record temp + volume

step 3) sparge/lauter (30-40min)

• add <24.82L (~120% of the initial water) (at 74-77C)
• cycle through grain bed till as least cloudy as possible
• slowly drain off in to primary fermenters
• compost the spent grain
• clean the kettle
• syphon wort back in to kettle
• add water to target Original Gravity: 1.056

Boil (1.5hr)

• 1 oz Citra (60 min)
• 1 oz Citra (15 min)
• 1 oz Cascade (15 min)
• 1 oz Citra (0 min)
• 1 oz Cascade (0 min)
• cool to 20c via heat exchanger in to primaries
  • attempt to oxygenate the wort
• add yeast

Cleanup (1hr)

Ferment (2w)

• wait for intial fermentation
• re-rack to carboy
• 1 oz Citra (dry hop)
• 2 oz Cascade (dry hop)
• wait 7 days
• target Final Gravity: 1.011
• bottle

All Grain Brewing

grain bill

• 22 lbs. 2-Row (90%)
• 1.5 lbs Crystal 40L (6%)
• 1 lbs CaraPils (4%)
• 4oz Citra Hops
• 2 yeasts

gear to get

• propane tank
• hosing for kettle runoff (1/2")
• hosing for heat exchanger (1/2")

Equipment I have

• mash tun/kettle 72L
• calibrated liquid volume stick
• strike water (2–5 L/kg grain) 2.6-2.9L is common (add false bottom volume to this)

The Process

Mashing In

heat strike water to 11 °F (6 °C) above your target mash temperature

Starch Conversion

this is making sweet thin porridge

Sparge/Lauter

this is rinsing the grain bed with water, then draining all sugary nutrience from the grain bed

Scratch math

220units = 45.5L
45.5/220=L/unit=0.2068181
20.68L = strike Vol
24.82L = sparging vol
