I plan on brewing my first all grain tomorrow and I'm still confused on how much water I need to get to where I want to go.
I'm using a rectangular cooler as a mash tun. I have 13 lbs of grains.
I read somewhere use 1.5 qts of water per grain so that would be 4.88 gal?
So single infusion mash hold temp for 60 min right?
then what comes after that?
I'm sort of lost after that. One calculator I used said I need 9 Gal of water. Wouldn't that bring down my target OG?
Also I'm using a turkey fryer with an aluminum pot (not the one that came with it) to boil the wort.
Sorry guys I tried looking around before asking but the more I look the more confused I get.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
