This is my first attempt at all grain. I am trying to figure this out and could use some help. I am doing a Tank 7 clone (Saison). The following is my grain bill:
6.2# of Pale malt
1.7# of corn flakes
0.2# of malted white wheat
I got the clone mash schedule and it is the following:
63C for 50 min
68C for 25 min
73C for 15 min
75C before mashing off
Hops
Bramling cross 1 oz 60 min
Amarillo 0.8 Oz with 5 min left
Amarillo 0.5 oz at flame out
Targets
efficiency - 70%
SG - 1.071
IBUs - 38
I don't have a lot of equipmnet so I plan on about a 3 gallon boil size in a 6 gallon pot. I plan to do all of my mashing in a sparge bag in the brew kettle. I plan to use 1qt/# for mashing (8.3 quart) and then following the heating schedule above. I will then rinse (sparge) with enough water 170F water to get to about 3.5 gallons.
My questions
What does the term mashing off mean?
Do I need to be more scientific about calculating the amount of water I use to mash or sparge? I saw some calculators online like the one attached, but I don't know what they mean.
Any other advice?
