For 3 - do you mean that you use half the water to mash, then use the remaining half to sparge (or full volume - 2.5G, then 2.5G for the sparge) Full Boil Volume - 2. Basically the wort flows better at this temperature without unleashing tannins. Pre-acidify the wort to a pH of 4.2 with lactic acid to help with the souring process and with head retention. This will work ok, but you'll need to get the water to 85C-87C for the grain bed to stabilize at 75-77C. Boil the wort for 10-15 minutes to pasteurize. 75.6C water by the time it hits the grain bed is going to be significantly cooler. I boil the shit out of mine, and I boil off between 6-7.5L. I have no idea how vigorous your boil is. So now you need to add your sparge water to achieve your pre-boil volume. My guess is that if you drained your entire mash tun, you'd end up with somewhere around 8.25L. Now you need to consider how much water will be absorbed by your grain bed. My calculations indicate you'd need roughly 13L of water to initially mash your 5kg of M.O. I never top up, because I know how much wort I'm going to collect pre-boil.

The data entered in the water calculator is saved to your recipe, so you can easily alter them later if needed. It seems to do three by default despite all my attempts and just wondered if it was deliberately designed this way? Usually you want your sparge water pH between 5.5 and 6 to reduce tannin extraction. #NO SPARGE BEERSMITH HOW TO#And also, if anyone with Beersmith could educate me into how to turn it into a two-stage batch sparge instead of three. Hope someone gets the gist of what I'm getting at. In essence, is it better to do a two-stage with probably fairly wide ranging temperatures or would a three-stage system be better despite not hitting the ideal temperature on stage one due to such a low water addition? I'll unlikely hit the right temperature with the first sparge but it would be so easy to hit it on 2 and 3 compared to the 2 batch sparge method.Īpologies if this is confusing, I'm even confusing myself now! It would be so much easier for me to hit strike temperature on round 2 and 3, the issue is running off the first mash with only a 1.58l addition. Batch Sparge Round 3: Sparge with 9.07 L of 75.6 C water. Batch Sparge Round 2: Sparge with 9.07 L of 75.6 C water. Batch Sparge Round 1: Sparge with 1.58 L of 75.6 C water. Total Quantity of Water Required For Batch #1: 20.3L Made up from two equal quantities of: 14.5 liters of wort collected from the mash. Okay, I'll ask this question in a more direct manner because I'm not really getting to the issue I have. That sounds a little easier than what I've been doing so far and it eliminates the issue with topping up 12.5l of 65c water and 5Kg grain with approx 8l of water to achieve a first batch sparge at ~80c. ![]()
