OK, so I'm planning a SMaSH blonde with 11# of two row. I have to figure out strike and sparge water amounts.
Guideline I've seen is 1.5 quarts water per pound of grain. So that's 16 quarts initially. Sparge water (per guidelines again) should be at _least_ the same as strike water, so another 16 quarts. That gives me 8 gallons to be boiled down to 5. Does that sound right? Seems like a lot of water to boil off.
