I'm doing jamils dry stout, and realized I need to do a partial mash for the flaked barley. I did the research (thx to deathbrewer).
I'm just trying to understand the water calc. I'm using the following grains:
2lb flaked barley
1lb black roasted malt
2lb American 2 row
jamil is saying he uses a water/grist ratio of 1.5 quart/lb.
My grist is all 5 lbs, right? So I'm looking at 7.5 quarts/1.875 gallons of water?
And when my mash is sitting, is it off the heat? Or do I just use heat as necessary to maintain that 150-155F?
