I'm doing my first AG brew day on Saturday and I'm making 10 gallons of a Tripel.
The recipe calls for 25lbs of grain, and that's including base and specialty. With the standard 1.25 quarts of water per lb, that comes out to 7.81 gallons.
The first problem is, I'm using a 10 gallon mashtun.
What is my process to get 10 gallons of wort from this mash? I'm not understanding how it's supposed to be 10 gallons from less than 8 gallons of water. Do you just top off what you're boiling? If so, won't that lower the OG?
