Brupak 29L

Post #1 made 11 years ago

Hi all, I'm nearly ready to make move to biab, still trying to gather as much info as possible, I'm looking at the brupak 29L heater but seem to be picking up confusing reads, so can I ask a quick question, sounds obvious but... Will a 29L boiler be big enough for a 23L Wort ? If I put 23L of water in boiler then add grain then add extra water through sprinkling grain bag will that make my 23L wort slightly weaker in body? Thank you for having patience with questions that's probably been asked before... Cheers jim

Jim,

You have not said what your Gran bill is.

Which is important to know, in determining the Volume of the Mash.

Anyways, You could Try "MAXI-BIAB"

If you can, Please Download BIABACUS at

http://www.biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1869

Then enter the kettle dimensions, and the Grain bill, and hops

The spread sheet will give Ideas how to Do what you want to do.

Hi Joshua did download and... wow what a chart, in trying to calculate my (potential ) boiler size it asks boil time, does that mean mash time + final boil or just boil? Cheers jim

Mash Time is from Dough-in to pulling the bag. I hope this helps.

Hi Jim,

Mash time is what Josh has said above.

After you pull your bag at the end of the mash (or mash-out if you do one), it takes some time to get your wort up to boiling point. There is no name for the period of time between the end of the mash and the beginning of the boil.

In the BIABAcus, in Section B, it says, "Boil for: mins." This means your boil time, in othr words, you do exactly as the BIABacus says, You boil for that amount of mins. In other words, boil time is the time from when your wort starts boiling until you turn the flame off.

...

The BIABacus looks daunting at first (because so many things are on the first page) but it is actually faster/easier/more versatile/more powerful than any other software that even can close to even being called brewing software. Just go through each section slowly and ask questions, like you are doing, until you understand them.

:peace:
