Hello World -
I am going to move from extract to a partial mash this evening. I have been reading about this process for a little over three days now and keep getting deeper and deeper into the black hole of information overload.
My plan is to partial 7#'s of grain and then utilize the remaining in LME.
I have a 5 gallon home depot jug that I have converted into my mash tun.
I am extremely confused about the sparging component (batch / fly / continuous) and exactly how to determine the exact amount of water necessary to sparge with.
My brew kettle is only capable of 3 gallons so I am trying to come up with a solid game plan...
Q1 - How do I determine the volume of water to use for sparging?
Q2 - Am I trying to partial too much grain with the equipment that I am working with?
