10.25lbs of grain hoping for 5.5 gallons of wort in fermenter
deadspace is big 7 liters
boil off 1 gallon
leave behind .5 in the kettle with the drek
so i was thinking a thin mash at 1.7 qts per pound is 17.4 qts. about 4.5 gallons.
can i just sparge (about 2.5 gal) til i get to 7 gallons then boil off 1 and leave .5 behind to end up with 5.5 in fermenter.
where does the dead space fit in here . do i have to add that to the 4.5 i always have issues with water calculations.
its a aio with recirc pump. does that mean theres no real dead space cause the water in dead space gets pumped back up over the grain. and i dont have to add it anywhere.
thanks
