Amidst moving and just taking a break (gasp) from brewing for a bit, I've seem to have lost some of my learnings...
I'm brewing a hoppy wheat soon...
5lb 2-row
3lbs each Red and white wheat
1.5lb rice hulls.
My brew kettle is 7.5gal and if I do a double infusion mash (122/154/168) with a mashout (.5qt/lb first, 1qt/lb second, and 1.5qt/lb third infusion), I will be sitting at 4.5gal of Wort before sparging. I realize I won't get 4.5gal out of each, but I'm wondering if I will have kettle room.
Any advice? I don't think I can go much thicker in my mash.
