I am going to be doing a DFH 90 minute clone soon. The grain bill is 18.16 lb. In theory my strike volume should be 22.7qts (if 1.25qt/lb). Obviously there will be some grain absorption (is .12 gallons/lb correct?). But my kettle is 7.5 gallons (30 qts). So in theory my sparge volume could only be about 10 quarts! What to do? Make a thicker mash with 1qt/lb to have a larger sparge volume? Start to boil my 1st runoff, then add my sparge when I boil off enough volume?
Does sparge volume really need to be 1.5 times mash volume (as recommended by John Palmer). It calls for a 105 minute boil...will i have boiled off enough to get to the right FG?
The recipe I have states the pre-boil volume is 6.75 gallons......how did they come up with that number (ProMash Recipe Report)?????? Please help!!!
