I am going to have a go at boiling the shit out of the first runnings of my Timothy Taylor Landlord clone. I'd like your opinions to my technique. Firstly, I'll be using 100% floor malted Golden Promise. No crystal, no dark malts added during the sparge. I will mash in with 10.64 liters of 73C. water. I will, after an hour, recirculate and begin draining the first runnings.
I will take 3.7854118L. of the first runnings and boil to oblivion. I am looking for a 50% reduction. To make up for any increase in gravity, I'll either add some sparge water or water directly to the boil. That should work. Stay tuned for the video.
Wort Caramelization
Re: Wort Caramelization
Sounds good too me, although I'v not tried this yet. Going to give it a shot on Friday whn I make my Caledonia 80 brew. Take around 4L of wort and boil it down to 2L.
