I've done a little experimenting with these 2 malts.
Brewed the same recipe using 9.25lbs of grain
3.5gal strike water
7gal infusion water
looking to achieve 9gal of wort in the kettle before boiling.
Now with the Briess i got my 9Gal no problem.
But with the Rahr i came up 1gal short.
So this means thet Rahr malt soaks up more water then the Briess malt??
Very interesting and anyone else switching back and forth between these two
malts may want to make an adjustment on there infusion/sparge water.
Cheers..
