How much water do I start with in my mash for my pre-boil? Can somebody clear this up for me? I posted the mash steps.
If I understand this correctly I will mash with 4.25 gallons of water and sparge with 4.75. The 7.00 gal boil size confuses me.
Type: All Grain
Batch Size: 5.50 gal
Boil Size: 7.00 gal
Boil Time: 60 min
End of Boil Vol: 6.37 gal
Final Bottling Vol: 5.50 gal
Mash Profile
Mash Name: Single Infusion, Medium Body, No Mash Out
Sparge Water: 4.75 gal
Sparge Temperature: 168.0 F
Adjust Temp for Equipment: TRUE
Total Grain Weight: 13 lbs
Grain Temperature: 72.0 F
Tun Temperature: 72.0 F
Mash PH: 5.20
Mash Steps
Mash In Add 16.25 qt of water at 168.9 F 154.0 F 60 min
