So I am about to do my first AG batch tomorrow and have a few questions to help put my mind at ease.
Since it's my first AG batch what should I use for my estimated efficiency so I can offset my grain bill?
I made a Mash Tun out of a 52 qt cooler with a pvc manifold. I did a water only run today and noticed that there was about 20 0z of water left at the bottom (out of 5 gal), I am guessing that the added weight of the grain bill will get rid of that leftover water. Correct?
Also I plan on doing a Batch Sparge, is the amount strike water simply divided in half for the two mashes?
