Re: How much
Well that depends on the size of the pot and your grain bill.

Re: How much
I know but I was hoping some one had a setup like this and had done the math for me.

Re: How much
Here are some numbers.GAM wrote:68l pot and 50l keg.

Sandy
My Mash tun = 66.2L, on a 40 liter batch I need 62.57 liter capacity, beer is estimated to be 6% abv.
Preboil volume from above is 49.82 liters, if you aim for a hard 38 liter batch you an get this down to just under 48 liters. Be do able but I'd fermcap the shit out of it. The above numbers will also account for 1.5 liters of Trub loss.

Re: How much
Beer Smith was taken off my work computer.
I can't find an equivalent but picture a keg with bag and grain, heat water in pot and transfer to keg.
Mash while heating sparge in pot. Put the sparge in buckets or what ever and drain kettle to pot. Add sparge to grain in keg and add to pot.
I am hoping for 60l in the pot. This is more of a whats the max exercise. It would 2 bodys to move that much wet grain or set up a pully.
Fermcap is a must.

Re: How much
I find this hard to follow, but wouldn't you be better off using the pot for your mash & boil, and the keggle for heating water?

Re: How much
Sandy if you have a pump you could do a brutus 20 style setup, you would only need the 1 pump and use gravity for the the other transfer

Do you mean you don't have any connections on the keggle to attach the pump, but the pot does?GAM wrote:One burner and I don't want to lift hot water.Jimmy wrote:I find this hard to follow, but wouldn't you be better off using the pot for your mash & boil, and the keggle for heating water?

Re: How much
You should be able to get away with that as well as long as the mash tun is insulated. Heat strike water in the kettle, transfer to the mash, then heat sparge water and recirculate until the temp evens out. Once that happens, drain everything to the kettle and boil. 2 vessels, 1 pump, 1 burner.

Re: How much
You can use the pot and the pot only to BIAB 10 gallon batch, no sparge. It's the same size as my pot and I do it all the time. I usually start with 54L water for the average grain bill and top up a couple litres before the boil if it's a long boil or high gravity brew.

Re: How much
Theoretically if you do a low gravity brew and top up your kettle you could squeeze out a 60L batch with the one pot. I've thought about it but haven't tried it yet.
However you could still do what LD said regarding a Brutus 20 style brew.
