I do all-grain BIAB and I have been trying to make a quick and easy table to figure out how much strike and sparge water I need. I want to end up with 5.5g in the fermenter. Here is what I have come up with:
Constants
Headspace .25g
Grain Absorption .5g (I know this varies but this is usually what I get)
Boil Off 1g
Quart of water per Pound 1.5
Strike/Sparge Table
Example - 10 Pounds of Grain:
3.75g strike water
.5g grain absorption
.25g headspace
3.5g sparge
1g boil off
5.5 gallons into the fermenter
