I'm using this recipe for my first AG batch an really looking forward to it as hefes are among my favorites. Anyway, I'm having trouble figuring out mash/sparge volumes. I'm running a 10g cooler MLT w/RIMS tube/controller. I'm very pumped to finally brew on my new setup as it's taken me a long time and a lot of money 😉. I'm also liking for some pointers for my yeast starter. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, I brewed my first AG batch using this recipe yesterday and my numbers were way off...my first runnings after a 90 min. RIMS mash was at 1.062 and after batch sparging was down to 1.030?! Looks like I still have a lot of learning to do... After the boil I ended up w/about 4.5 gallons at 1.032. Oh well. Any ideas on where I may have gone wrong?

I'm guessing you went with the grains & volumes in Ed's original recipe. Possibilities include too coarse a grind on your grain, measuring hot wort gravity without correcting for calibration temp on hydrometer, mash temp significantly off - possibly due to thermometer not being calibrated, doughballs or even dry areas in the mash from inadequate stirring, mash pH way out of the ballpark... Any of these seem like a possibility?
I plan to brew this on Sunday as well. I'm thinking ill brew it exactly, but after it is kegged I think I might enjoy a gallon or so as is, then dry hop with Amarillo and see how that goes. Anyone tried dry hopping yet? Any suggestions for how much to add to ~4 gal? I was thinking starting with 1-1.5oz but I don't have much experience with dry hopping yet so I'm not sure if hat is enough/too much.
