I've brewed 7 extract kits since November and have had good success. Now it's time to move on to partial mash kits en route to eventually doing AG brews.
Looking over the instructions for the Red Ale I just ordered, brought up a question. Mash water + sparge water = 2.5 gallons, instructions say to add make up water when going to the fermentor. I normally do full 5 gallon boils, I assume this is no different. Should I just add the other 2.5 gallons at the beginning of the boil or should I sparge enough water to get to the 5 gallon mark?
