Tomorrow, I'm gonna be attempting my first allgrain brew. Just would like some feedback/double checking on my numbers. As this is my first run, I don't have any idea what my efficiency is gonna look like.
I'm gonna be using 11lbs of grain. I'll be using 13qts of water to hit a ratio of around 1.18. I'll be heating the water to about 175 to preheat the cooler, and mash in at 168, aiming for a final temp of 154ish.
Now, my sparge data isn't set, as my beersmithfu is weak. I think I need to sparge with 3.5 gallons of 154 degree water. I do understand this may go up or down depending on my first runnings, but I'm trying to figure out a baseline.
After that, it's a normal day.
