I brewed NB's Sinistral Warrior for my first beer. I dry hopped with 2 oz of Cascade, and now, coming up on my 4th anniversary of home brewing, I decided to do it again. Only now, I don't like to buy kits...I make up my own recipes. I've been teetering on partial mash and AG (I've only made...

I've been concocting my own recipes and they've been partial mashes for over a year now. I had read somewhere, you want 1 quart of water per pound of grain. I have never gone by that. No matter the amount of grain, I've always just mashed with three gallons of water and then sparged with 2.5...
