| Mar 21, 2016 at 11:11 | comment | added | TomSelleck | Howdy - quick update / question: I followed the steps to do a full volume / all grain batch. Everything went smoothly (used 25% more grain etc.) but went I took the O.G is was 20 points over (~0.0.65), eek! I diluted with water to get about 25L @ 0.045 instead of 20L @ 0.065. Is this likely to the mash being more efficient than expected, using too much grain or the mash being too hot? Bonus question - I need to brew 40L of ale in the next few days but only have enough room to mash / boil about 25L of liquid.. any ideas how to best handle this situation? | |

I do a fairly fine crush (my mill is set to 0.035") on my grains and I usually get between 75 and 80% efficiency. Since you don't have to worry about a stuck sparge you can grind pretty fine. Definitely try to do a full-volume mash, though. | |

I really wanted to do a partial boil as the copper chiller I have is useless / takes hours to cool. I've taken to putting 3/4 Kg of Ice into partial boil's to top up to my desired batch size. Its very effective at reducing the temp. to ~20c almost instantly.. | |
