Notes

Equipment Evolution
Blichmann 50l is the mash tun, with the new original false bottom, because the malt bill is too big for the Robobrew. We can also do a step mash with Blichmann 50l.

Robobrew is our boil kettle because his capacity is 30 litres and that is our wort volume going into the kettle AND he fits perfectly under the Blichmann 50l for a gravity transfer.

Mash water just clears the false bottom at 19 litres, so we are adjusting the mash water to 20 + 3 x #kg in mash = 44 litres.

We will adjust sparge water accordingly to get 30 litres for the boil.

Left over last runnings can be used for a low alcohol beer second beer with another yeast (Session IPA??).

I will be surprised if my final gravity is 1.015 since I have very high attenuation in most of my beers and I really want a dry finish to follow the Trappist style exactly. So, I am OK with with the ABV estimate of less than 9% because I will probably hit that in the final product.

Mash schedule following Duvel model from "The Secrets of the Master Brewers", p. 151.
