I am sure that the good folks here will be able to answer this question. I am going to switch to a no sparge method with tonights brew. I have figured the water volume I will need but not the strike temp. Seems to me since you are adding all the water as strike water you would not need to heat it as far above your target temp.
I am roughly doubling my normal strike water that I would head 10 degrees above my target temp. I am thinking since I double the mass of water I should halve the 10 degree buffer to heat the grain up. So for a 150 degree mash I think 155 for the strike water. If it is to low I can draw some off and boil it to bring it up and if it is to high a few ice cubes to bring it down.
Can I say whoot though once I figure out the new temps for NO SPARGE BREWING:rockin:
