Just a quick(ish) question...
I currently do extract brewing, but want to try my hand at AG, so i looked around and decided to do 2.5 gallon batches. I also learned that to get everything proper 1-1.25qts of water/lbs of grain should be used for striking and .5 gal of water/lbs of grain should be used for sparging.
My question is... I only have a 5 gal pot for brewing, using those calculations, does that mean i'm limited to recipes of 6 lbs of grains? or can I use the same calculations with bigger grain bills and just add the sparge to the wort to bring it up to 2.5 gallons?
Thanks in advance.
