Happy accidents - I might try this next time!

Can I ask you how much water you used for the mash?

To heavy on the Munich?

Guess I gotta do the work haha, so getting into the science of this- if I tested this does water type make a huge difference or does it come down to heat and surface area? (I have to use bottled water rather than my tap water when I actually brew).

88/8/4% Munich/Vienna/Cara Munich is what I am about to try.

Ok cool cool. So do you usually plan on 1 gallon boil off loss per 60 min boil?

I am wondering about water calculations myself. I have heard that for All Grain kits using BIAB 1.25 qts per pound of grain is a good ratio to start with. If I am brewing using 12 pounds of grain that would be 3.75 gallons in the mash. Would I then just top off to get to my 5 gallon batch?

Do you make a yeast starter?

I am about to brew an all grain octoberfest batch. I have never followed a true lager method. Is there a good system to follow? More specially when I get to bottling what temperature do I want my beer to be at when adding the priming sugar solution?
