I am brewing a Founder's Breakfast Stout clone as follows:
13.5# 2 row
1# Chocolate
12oz Roasted barley
9oz Black patent
7oz Crytal 105
Mash 155 for 1 hour.
I normally use 1.25qts/lb for mash thickness, but if I do that I'm only going to be able to batch sparge with ~3 gallons in my 10 gallon igloo. Is that likely to hurt my efficiency or would I be better off doing a slightly thicker mash and sparging with a larger volume?
Thanks.
