I had two gallons cooled boiled water awaiting in the carboy, i used 1 3/4 Gal for sparging at 170F. Final boil volume added to carboy was about 1 1/4. toped off with just under 2 Gal cooled boiled water, was just about 5.25 gal in the carboy.
the wort in my hydromoeter flask tastes good, but like a bitter desert. hahahahahahaha. Maybe i shouldnt have sampled a bottle of everything ive ever brewed during this process.
