I have seen some interesting numbers around how much water to add per pound of grain for the mash.
I helped with a brew at a 500 litre brewery last week (test brew for a large commercial brewery), and the number was around 3.5 litres per kilogram of grain.
Converted, thats around (3.5litres) 0.9 gallons of water to (1kg) 2.2lbs of grain.
I have tried several different methods, and I have found it a lot easier to go higher on mash water volume in the beginning, to give me better circulation, clearer wort and a larger first runnings.
Thoughts?
