I brewed my third all grain batch yesterday with new equipment--a keggle and burner. I use Brew Target for my software. I brewed an IPA with a 15 lb grain bill. BT called for a 4.568 gallon infusion mash at 1.25 qt/gallon. I ended up using 5 because the temp wasn't even after the stike so I used a half gallon to boost it a bit. I mashed for 90 minutes. I then batch sparged using 4 gallons, letting it sit for 15 minutes. When I emptied the sparge water, I compressed the grains with a plate. I boiled for an hour.
After whirlpooling and cooling I transfered to my primary; a 6.5 gallon glass carboy. I filled it half way. How on earth did I lose so much water?
