Hey guys,
I am trying to come up with a recipe for a single temperature infusion batch sparge all-grain brew. I've done 5 extract brews already and want to take the next step and attempt all grain brewing. I've been reading the book "How to brew" by John Palmer and so far that is where pretty much all my info is coming from.
Basically, I want to create an Extra Special Bitter recipe. I haven't decided on the hops yet but so far:
Malts:
Yeast: WLP007 Dry English Ale
Hops: N/A
Target OG = 1.048
Target FG = 1.008
Batch size of 5 gallons
Boil volume of 6 gallons
That's everything I have so far, if anything looks out of place I would appreciate that you guys point it out
The strike water will be 18 quarts (9 Lb grain bill * 2) @ 160 F. This will make the mash around 4.5 gallons. I'm just stuck on how much sparge water I should add. I know the answer is somewhere in my book but I read the book in 4 days and haven't yet digested all the info (A LOT.)
Thanks.
