Brewing Bits
5 GALLON BREW = 23LTRS WATER
EBU = BITTERNESS X VOLUME
ALPHA ACID X 2
Example 20 Bitterness x 23 volume = 460
Alpha Acid of hops 3.2 x 2 = 6.4
460 divided by 6.4 = 71.875 = 72gms of hops
ABV – START GRAVITY – FINISH GRAVITY
Example Start gravity 1040
Finish Gravity 1010
1040 - 1010 = 30
30 divided by 7.36 = an ABV of 4%
WATER TEMPERATURE FOR MASH = 76˚ TO 78˚
STRIKE TEMPERATURE FOR MASH = 66˚
WATER TEMPERATURE FOR SPARGE = 78˚
ROLLING BOIL = 1 ½ HOURS
COOL BEER TO 20˚ THEN PITCH YEAST
PREFFERED START GRAVITY = 1040
PREFFERED FINISH GRAVITY 1010
