As I have been reading and learning, I keep hearing that the water to lbs of grain ratio when mashing should be about 1-1.25qt per pound of grain. Most recipes I have studied call for a 60 minute boil (5 gallon batches) what I'm confused about is this..If the grainbill is only 8-9lbs of grain for a low gravity beer, or 12-13lbs for a higher gravity beer, how will the same ratio work for both recipes and end up with the same post boil amount of wort??
Thanks,
