So, i am new to AG brewing. I have ingredients and a recipe, but am unsure of the proper amounts of water for a 5 gallon batch.
First, I have 16lbs of grain.
I have read that 4 gallons of water for mashing should be fine.
Now, what I am unsure of is how/where do I add the water to bring it up to correct batch size?
Is this during sparging? Do I account for boil off?
