  You're right on the money. Just started a 7g boil. My efficiency sucked as expected. Target OG
  was 1.082 and we got 1.048. I only had two lbs. of DME which I ended all of, but it won't be
  enough to ge...

• Posted in thread: Stone's Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout clone recipe on 02-24-2013 at 05:12 PM
  Thought I'd share this. It is a clone recipe of a Stone beer, but the local brew shop didn't
  have all of the hops the recipe called for. I did get comparable hops and did the AA
  conversions so it shou...

  Sorry, I should have clarified. That's too much water for the 5 gallon batch I'm planning on,
  so I'm going to mash with a full 9 gallons and won't be sparging. I'm planning on 2 gallons of
  absorption ...

  Ok, I think I have a plan in place. I added accurate numbers into the brew365 calculator and
  it's coming up with total water needed of 12.05, 6.65 gallons for mashing and 5.40 for
  sparging. Since I'm ...

  Yes, I'm either planning on doing a full volume mash, or a fly sparge equal to mash volume. The
  only issue is I may not have a big enough mash tun. Mine is 52 qt. or 13 gallons so I should be
  good. I'...

  Yeah, I did have it in there as 1.5 hours, but I may have changed other numbers. At this point,
  I'm leaning towards just doing a full volume mash. By chance, I just saw that my local home
  brewing stor...

  Right now I'm planning on sparging with 3 gallons. Is that not a lot? Not trying to be a
  smarta$$, I really don't know. Seems like a lot though.This also calls for a 90 minute boil for
  the first hop a...

  Yeah, I know this is a lot to take on as my first AG. But it will be my 5th brew and I tend to
  jump into things with both feet and my socks on. That philosophy has worked for and against me,
  but it's ...

  Actually, as I'm learning as I go here, I have one more question. Since this recipe is calling
  for 20 lbs. of grain which includes a half pound of oats, should I be using more water to mash
  to prevent...

  Just did the calculator. Total water needed is 9.8 gallons. 6.6 for mashing, 3.2 for sparging.
  Again, thanks guys.
