Howdy all,
I've been doing the Brooklyn Brew Shop 1 gallon all grain kits without any problems. I'd like to experiment with BIAB and since I have a BBS kit here, I'd like to try it with that.
My question is this, how much water should I start with? The kit has right at 2.4 pounds of grain. I've been reading that to calculate how much water you need, you can multiply by 1.25-2 quarts of water per pound of grain. Can anyone confirm this and narrow it down a bit?
Also, the kit instructions has a total of 6 quarts of water (between the mash and sparge), I'm wondering if this would be a good starting amount for BIAB. I'm guessing that it's too much though.
Thanks in advance!
