So me and a friend are talking about doing an all grain batch together so I have been reading up on it. Here is my question. All of the recipes I am looking at in a book that I have say to mash with 3 or so gallons of water then to sparge with 5 gallons of water in a 5 gallon batch... which had me questioning total volume of wort being more than 5 gallons. Then I read some websites and such and they say that you will be collecting 6 to 7 gallons of wort out of the mash tun.
For a 5 gallon batch why would you need to just stop collecting wort out of thet mash tun when you have reached 5 gallons?
