Forgot to mention i added 1 ounce of grains of paradise 20 mins into the 1 hour boil just to see the affect, i'm just about to transfer to fermenter now and all went very well

AT what are grains of paradise please:?:

Oh very bad i only collected 16 L and i put it in the fermenter with the 4 incch airlock so the only reading i could get was brix and it was 13. Can i afford to add water? and if so how much?

13 brix of raw wort is 1.050,

I don't know the anticipated OG was or the size of the brew so I can't tell you any more than that I'm afraid

if you post these I can stick them through Promash's dilution calculator for you.

i came across these when i was looking for a Chimay clone and from whay i can see they're nothing more than mixed peppers

give us a minute and I'll put the recipe through Promash,

cheers

AT, the recipe at 72% eff comes out at 1.040

so if you add 3.79 litres of water to the 16 litres of wort which is 1.050 at the moment, it should dilute it to 1.040

hope this helps

AT · Post by AT » Sat Jul 14, 2007 9:30 pm

really does thanks a million

Garth · Post by **Garth** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 9:33 pm

it won't quite get you to 23 litres but it'll be a lot nearer, so the hops etc won't be too far out

I'm having probs at the moment with my efficiency, just don't seem to get to the required amount in the fv......
