I am looking to brew this for my first AG brewing in the next couple of weeks. I was wondering how much water you end up mashing with and sparging with? Did you do the 1.25 quarts to lbs for mash then sparge with 1/2 gal per lb? That is what I read on some other threads water requirements for recipes.
Sorry it took so ling to get to this. I typically Mash at 1.5 Q to Lbs ratio for this beer. The sparge water is the amount needed to get to my boil volume. For me that's about 7.5 gal (batch sparge) for an 11 gal batch. I always go high on the final volume to account for system loss. The sparge volume will be dependent on your system boil off and losses.
