Getting Mashed

[Reaverman]

Ok,

just as a mental exercise before I leap fully into creating my first mash.

I have a converted watercooler with a ball valve tap. It holds 25L of liquid as my mash tun.

My grain bill is:
5.5 Kg of flaked corn
0.5 Kg of rolled oats
0.5 Kg of Dark munich malt
3.0 Kg of Pilsner Malt

My strike water temp is 76.2 Degrees
My Striker water vol is 23.75 Litres

Now with those details, and considering the size of my Mash tun. I am right in thinking I would have to do this is two batches, and adjust my Striker water vol/temp accordingly?

Yep. It won’t all fit in your mash tun at once. Get a bigger tun.

76.2C is okay for the unmodified grains. I’d wait till the mash was at 65C before adding the malted grains.

+, mash at lower temps. you want it to ferment dry.... unless you will drink the beer.
