Started off mashing 5 lbs in 3.5 gallons. Drip,squeeze, toss. Trying to get 2.5 gallons had to top off during the boil.
Next batch. 3.5 gallons. Mashed in. Dipped into .5 gallons at 170 and stirred it up for 5 mins. Drain squeeze combine in boiling pot. This got me alittle under 2.5 post boil.
Third batch. 3.5 gallons mashed. Into .5 gallons at 170. Into a colander on top of the pot. Pushed that down poured a tea kettle over that at 170. Combine in boiling pot. This got me to about 83%.
I haven't tried any of the beer carbed yet.
First one was a little too hoppy
Second taste amazing out of the bucket. Much dryer and cleaner than my extracts.
Think the process in the third is a good way too go? Should I adjust my temps?
