getting ready to do my first AG brew, would anyone like to look this over and see if I am set up correctly before I brew? I have a 10 gallon cooler w a false bottom for mash tun, and a 10 gallon kettle w spigot/valve and a straight mesh tube on the inside from valve. Planning on batch sparging for now.
My AG Setup
Batch Size: 5.75 gal
Mash Volume: 10.00 gal
Boil Volume: 7.63 gal
Mash Tun Weight: 9 lbs
Evaporation Rate: 14.8 % Mash Tun Specific Heat: 0.12 cal/g-deg C
Boil Time: 60 Mash Tun Deadspace: 0.80 gal
Top-up for Boiler: 0.00 gal Equip Hop Utilization: 100.00 %
Losses to Trub/Chiller: 0.50 gal Cooling Loss (%): 4.00
Top up water for Fermenter: 0.00 gal
Notes: Popular 10 gallon setup for all grain brewing. Uses a 10 gallon water cooler as mash tun for single infusion mashes and a 15 gallon brew pot for full size boil of the 12+ gallons of wort.
Total recipe w details.
