Has anyone visited the site beercraftr.com?
They have a recipe book that is strictly one gallon all-grain recipes. It's wonderful, and I am itching to try one for my first all-grain batch.
However when reading through the recipes, all of them have a mash profile of at least 9.5 quarts, some are 11 quarts. I realize this is a no-sparge full volume boil, but it still seems like too much strike water. 9.5 quarts is 2.375 gallons, or 9 liters. For a 60 minute boil, even with grain absorption, trub, etc I can't see getting from 2.375 gallons down to a 1 gallon. And this is the low end, they have recipes calling for 11.4 quarts, or 2.85 gallons.
