Howdy folks!
I've brewed a few gallon batches of mead/ciders and I've done one beer kit. You know the gloopy stuff in the can. It's all turned out pretty well and I'd like to have a go at all grain biab. I've got the 5 gallon FVs but I have one question that's holding me back.
How much water do you need to make your wort?
Do you boil your grains in let's say 3 gallons and then top it off to make 5? If you need to boil 5g or more, I wouldn't even know where to get a pot big enough to hold 5g and all the grains.
Any help much appreciated!
