Ok, so we've done a few brews using liquid extract and have been very tasty.
Now we are going to try all grain, BUT we are somewhat limited by space. We've got a 30ltr thermofridge with filter and tap to do the mash. As this is being done on a vitro ceramic cooker , up till now we have used a 10 ltr pot to boil the wort and it's going to be the same this time round. My plan is to boil as much wort as possible and then top up with tap water before fermenting , pretty much the same way we did with liquid extract. Will this method work fine? How will this affect following some of the recipes on here? Is my thinking flawed?
Also the plan is to do an IPA for which I have the following ingredients:
5kg Pale Malt 7,
0.5kg Malt Cara 50,
0.5kg Malt Cara Gold 120
0.5kg Malt Castle Crystal 130
100g of Chinook ( idea is to use it for bittering ) and
100 g of Cascade and Amarillo ,
2 sachets of Safale S-04 and
10 Irish Moss tablets.
As you can see, I've got a few doubts .Any suggestions/recommendations greatly appreciated.
