      If I use the no chill method and use my 15 litre cube, and want to add 8 litres of water when fermenting to get to 23 litres, how do I calculate the OG at 15 litres which is required to add 8 litres and reach my required OG for 23 litres? Is there a problem with doing that?

      You could try your LHB shop and if you no luck there, try some camping stores. They are in Bcf and stratco and bunnings up here in brissy. You could also purchase a FWK off craftbrewer or another store that sells them and keep using it for your cube.

   3. Grain Crush

      I am slowing absorbing the information getting ready for my first mini-biab. How crushed should the grain be? One tutorial suggested using the coffee bean grinder and seemed to produce a flour-like consistency. What is the optimal crush when ordering online from a supplier?

      ynotnamlac,
      
      Regular grind is good enough. The store grind is acceptable. Some brewers with mills run it through a second time at the factory settings to make sure it's perfect. There is no reason to brew with powder! Flour is for bread not beer. Flour is messy makes cloudy wort and does not appreciably increase mash conversion. Some brewers slightly mist the grain before they mill it. The idea is to keep the husk's from breaking into dust and giving a more clean mash?
