Beware of the hop bags being sucked onto the filter and smothering it when you are doing the cool.

Hi Dave,

Unusually I did follow the calculations to the letter so for above.

Mash Volume: (grist weight in Kg x 2.7) + 3.5 for me that was (5 x 2.7) + 3.5 = 17 L

Sparge volume: (28 - mash water volume in L) + (grist in Kg x 0. (28-15.65) + (4.5 x 0. = 15 L


I found the calculations to be accurate.

Hi - is that sparge water calc correct? your mash water was 17L but you used a figure of 15.65 in your sparge water calc, or is it me being thick?

Looks like a typo error to me.

i brewed for the 1st time at weekend and used the calculations in the booklet and it was bang on

Cheers
