Notes

Mass dilution
Doing 24gal
Expected og: 1.119 after boil
Dilute to 1062

Ok. So that was stupid! Too much malt. Couldn't even get it all in the Keggle. Had to scoop half a bucket out just to get it to flow. 


Even then this was a shit show. Temp was everywhere. Sparge was stuck or flowing slow. 

52 lbs of grain does not work in a Keggle. A ratio less then 1.5 is a bad idea. 


So, ended up with 15gal at 1052
