This weekend I am planning on doing a 20/21 litre brew to fill 40 500ml bottles.
How much water do I need to put in the boiler (roughly) that will give me 20/21 litres after a 60min boil.
My recipe is
3.3kg light LME
340g Caramalt
30g cascade 60 mins
30g cascade 15 mins
30g cascade 5 mins
10g cascade post boil
Cheers
Nick
Amount of water for an extract brew
Re: Amount of water for an extract brew
Very roughly and it depends on your setup, you might lose 10% liquid per hour, and 1 litre per 100g hops.
You want 21 litres at the end. You're boiling for 60 mins. And you have 100g hops, so you will lose 1 litre to them.
So you need (21 + 1) / 0.9 = 24.5L.
VERY APPROXIMATELY. It's probably better to do it by trial and error to work out how your setup works.
