I am getting ready to brew today (@1:00...football and brewing,life is good.)...I have an 8lb grain bill for a five gallon batch of Pale ale. I am mashing with 1.25 qrts per pound(2.5 Gallons) Single temp mash @ 158 for hour(or until conversion, it took an hour last time.) I have an igloo cooler MLT with a fly sparge manifold built in to it. My question is how much water should I sparge with, and how much wort can I expect to collect after vorlauffing(sp? love the word, but my spelling sucks!) for the boil? Do i add water to the boil if I don't collect enough wort? Thanks!
