Water:
Final beer volume: 18 l

Assume 1.25 l/kg absorption: A = 10.75 l
Strike Water: R=Mash @ 3 l/kg: B = 25.8 l
First wort volume: B – A = C = 15.05 l
Sparge water @ 75 ºC: 26 – C = D = 10.95 l
Strike water temp= (0.41/R) x (T2-T1) + T2
= (0.41/3) x (T2-T1) + T2
= (0.136’) x (69 – ) + 69
T1 = Current ambient Temperature
Mash Schedule
