Partial Mash Question:
Ok, for my first partial mash in total, I am going to use 5.5lbs of fermentable grains to partial mash.
Question: How much water should I use for the mash water given the amount of grain I have and as far as the temperature I am getting conflicting answers from different resources.
I have heard roughly 153 deg but no more than 160 deg temperature for the partial mash but then I also heard that thats not true. I heard it is 153 deg to 160 deg for the grains itself. If that is the case, how do I measure the temperature of the actual grain while it is in the water. Keep in mind I am going to use a stovetop for this step.
Also how much volume and at what temp for the sparge water?
Thanks guys any input would help
