I have searched and found multiple answers, dont know what to follow.
Im starting my AG soon, one thing im comfused on is how much mash water and how much sparge water to use per lb of grain.
I have heard 1gal water to 1lb grain, 1.5gal water to 1lb grain and ive heard use half your pre boil vol in your mash and the other half in your sparge. Ive also heard half your preboil vol and sparge to you get to your pre boil vol.
How come everybody has a different opinion on this. Im doing 5 gal batches with a pre boil vol of 6.5gal.
What is the right way that the majority of brewers calculate this.
Thanks and I know this has been coverd but like I said every thread is different. I want to get the most out of my grains and really want my first AG to turn out well.
