Really Quick Question

[GodsStepBrother]

I know you need about a quart of water per lb of grain, however does that include specialty grains? I am getting a mini mash recipe tomorrow; 2 lbs are base grains and 1 lb of specialty grains, should i use 3 quarts of water?

 

[GrizlyGarou]

yes. or more. I use at least 1.25 qts per pound, myself.

Usually it's 1.25 to 2 quarts of water per pound, and yes, it's all the grains. It has to do with mash consistency.
