This is my first all grain brewing attempt. The grain bill for the brew is as follows:
8lbs American 2 row
4lbs American White wheat
.5lbs Carapils
First question, I plan on batch sparging with a CPVC manifold. Do I run the risk of a stuck sparge? Would rice hulls be a good investment being as its my first time?
I was thinking about 1.25 qts/lb of water. This equates to a little under 4 gallons of water for mash in. Do I account for water loss to grain absorption in my mash in or in my sparge? And is .2 gallons/lb a pretty close guesstimate of water loss to grain absorption?
Probably all stupid questions but I rather ask now then when i'm into the process.
Thanks for all the help!!
