Hey all,
I know this is something that comes up often, but wanted to still post here. Will be brewing a summer shandy style beer BIAB and am going to try to make a five gallon batch of beer with a goal of 8% - 8.5% Abv and then will add five gallons of lemonade from Costco in the keg. I want to make sure I have five gallons of wort in my fermentor but am worried the grain will absorb lots of the water. Here’s my recipe..
10 pounds Pilsner
10 pounds White Wheat
Mash at 152 for an hour
2 oz. Willamette at 60 min
2 oz. Cascade at 30 min
Pitch S-05 at 75 degrees
So, with that much info, how much water should I start with for my mash?
