Today I tried to do a partial mash with mashing process. I had practiced a partial mash without mashing, just steeping some specialty malts a couple of times, so this should be my first time to do a real partial mash brewing.
I need three pots : one for mashing, one for boiling water(for sparging) and another for warming an extract can as usual.
Rye malts-as base malt-is being mashed in a grain bag. 30mins in 50~55 degrees Celsius. 60mins in 60~65 degrees Celsius. I spill grams of malts out of the bag out of mistake.
Using a strainer for sparging. Homebrewing needs lots of kitchen tools. And another mistake I did : forgot to boil the wort up to 78 degrees Celsius before sparging, just add sparging water in that temperature.
Start to boil the wort, steeping hops in a hop bag in the schedule. This time I won't forget to stir the wort like a crazy person after adding LME. No burnt taste, no more.
The smell is really good, relaxing me all the time.
Prepare to chill the wort.
A whole process took about 4 hours, time was reaching at midnight and I was tired as hell. In result, I added water one liter more than the 9L recipe which made OG lower(1.046, originally it should be 1.053).
Homebrewer needs enough stamina too...
