Think I'm ready to do first biab

Post by Vysie » Thu Apr 02, 2015 5:47 pm

My order of grains has arrived with hops to do a bass draft clone, I can't find a temp to mash at can someone help out there? Also can I halve the grain bill and do a smaller batch? It's set at 23ltr ? Will be trying others after this as my book arrived today to its gregarious book looks very good with a nice selection

Mash at 66c and yes, cut all the ingredients in half for a half sized batch. Good luck!

Graham Wheelers book says to mash at 66c. If you want to do smaller then divide by the batch size then multiply by the number you want for example in litres... ( the weight of grain etc/19)x5 if you had the recipe for a 19l batch but wanted 5

Or just halve everything if that works.

I would recommend downloading biabacus and using that as it will do all the batch sizes for you based on your put size.
