I'm thinking about making the switch to AG but have a few quesitons.
1. After you drain the wort after the sparge, how do you consistently get the right volume of liquid for the boil? So if you're doing a 5 gallon batch, and after sparging get 4 gallons of wort (or 6) do you add more water or (or boil it down sufficiently) until you hit your boil gravity?
2. Do you use grains that you would normally have to steep for an extract brew in AG? Would you just incorporate them in the mash or steep them in the wort once its been extracted?
