Heres my recipe from the beersmith program. When I batch sparge before I got the program I used the 1.25 quarts per pound of grain for both the mash and the sparge. Is beersmith telling me I need 11.56 quarts of water for the mash and 5.54 gallons for sparging? Its double what I would use but I think it adds up for the small grain bill. I never had a grain bill for 5 gal under 12.5 lbs
