Hey guys, I'm brewing an all grain barleywine on Sat & wanted to get some feedback. The target OG should be 1.120 and last time I tried it, I missed the target OG significantly. I think part of the issue was that I did a batch sparge. This time, I'm thinking no sparge is the way to go.
My question is this: Is it ok to increase my water to grain ratio to about 1.75 in order to get the total volume of water needed all into the mash? It's already going to be about 23lbs worth of grain for a 5 gallon batch. And yes, my mash tun is plenty big enough (75 qt cooler).
