hi guys,
i have a 50l ag corn / barley (7.5kg:5kg +3kg sugar) wash that has almost finished fermenting out. When i rack it off to the boiler instead of squeezing the bejesus out of it in a bit of old sheet to get the extra goodness out, do you reckon the following would work?
Drain off whatever I can to strip leaving the grain residue behind. Disolve some sugar in warm water & add into the fermenter with the grain & yeast trub.
Think I would need to add some more grain? or would the remains still have some flavour?
Asking as I haven't sourced any fish & chip shop frying baskets or similar to use to press the extra juice out & reckon I'll quickly end up with a fermenter full of spent grain if I make another AG batch & dump on top of what is left in the fermenter.
Any comments or suggestions re how much sugar / water / grain to add?
cheers
