|
|
I know there’s one that works somewhere, but I’m having no luck finding one today. Basically, I’m trying to find a calculator that can help me back calculate how much grain I can use with a smaller mash tun. I’ve got a home setup that’s running kegs for the HLT and BK, but my mash tun is only a 6.5 gal / 25L pot - the limiting factor on the setup for now.
Is there a way to figure out how much grain I should be using other than trial & error?
And yes, eventually, I’ll upgrade the mash tun size as well, but this’ll be my first all grain (sparged) batch on the new electric system. Baby steps.

Yeah, they sort of got the job done... what I ended up looking for was your Strike water calculation in the brew day post on the main site:
Strike water = (Mash Thickness * Pounds of Grain / 4) + dead space under false bottom + liquid in hoses = (1.5 * 18 / 4) + 0.22 + 0.5 = 7.47 gallons
Then just doing some basic algebra to it.
Thanks Kal
