Notes

for Reference:
Mashtun Max-
16# @1.25 qt/gal + 5gal => 6.67 gal space

Water per 5 gal:
Soft bull run tap water + some CaCl+ 1/2 a camden tab/ 5 gal


Mk-2 bump up the malty , less 2-row
~9# grain, therefore ~ 1.75 gal absorbtion.

7+ gal to boiler needs 9 + gal to mash tun.
will be maxed out in 10 gal mash tun so might need to rinse a little. plan on cold extracting 8 gallons , slight rinsing to get to kettle volume.

Cold single infusion at 55 degrees F ish
mash start time 930 pm
to 0745 am
Brew day - BIG DUMP batch sparge to boiler
slight second drain/rinse to boiler
Heat wort to mash through 156 F for 15 minutes
Heat to vigorous boiling for 20 min
