Going to do my first AG batch for a blonde ale with a 9.19lb grain bill and want to confirm that I need about 7.5 gallons to start. I know this is probably answered somewhere, but was unable to nail down a definite number using the search.

Also have a question about the water/grain ratio, is that number added to the batch size?

Thanks
Greg
 
Thanks for the quick answers, that's about what I was getting with Beersmith but was not sure I was using it correctly. My boil off rate is about 1 g/hr.
 
This site has an intense calculator taking in a lot of variables. If you can get past the metric it is pretty cool to use. Lots of other good BIAB stuff on it as well.
