Have been planning my first BIAB brew for a few weeks and have assembled the various bits of kit as follows...
19l Stock Pot
Vegetable steamer insert as a false bottom
Large Colander to fit pot for draining
Youngs Mashing and Sparging bag, fits the pot pretty well
Thermometer probe and display unit
15l Fermentation Bucket with airlock
other bits that i had already (Hydrometer, trial jar, spoon etc)
My plan is for 11l into the FV and then 10l into the Corny
I am a big fan of Wheat beers, just done a Coopers kit based Wheat and thought i would try a cleaner more hoppy American Wheat so have gone for the following. I took this from the "Home Brew Beer" by Greg Hughes and scaled using BeerSmith. I was looking for something simple as I am really trying to get a feel for the BIAB process with this brew.
16l Water at 69c then add bag and grain
65c Mash for 60 mins.
1.50kg Weyermann Wheat Malt Light
1.00kg Weyermann Pilsner Malt
0.15kg Weyermann CaraPils
8.5g Citra pellets (70mins)
1/4 Protofloc tablet 15mins
12.5g Citra Pellets (flameout)
Wyeast 1010 American Wheat Ale
Estimated OG 1.055
Estimated FG 1.010
ABV - 4.7%
Ferment at 18c
Would be great to get any views/comments/advice on this...
Planning it for Sat morning as SWMBO is taking the kids shopping for the morning.......
