I am thinking about trying out the cream of 3 crops recipe with some revisions. From what I have gathered for a 5.5 Gallon I will need:
6lbs 2 row pale malt
2lbs flaked corn
1lb minute rice
.5 oz Willamette at 60
.5 oz crystal at 60
90 minute mash at 152
90 minute boil to dry it out.
I used a biab calculator and came up with needing 8 gallons of water to start off with assuming I lose 1.25 gallons an hour in the boil and the grains will soak up some too.
My main question is how much extra grain/ water should I need in order to match the original recipes efficiency? Trying to keep it as simple as possible while trying my first AG.
