Hey guys as a chemist by professiin i feel like an idiot. I can not figure out the amount of water i should use for my mash and my sparge. I batch sparge. Last time i brewed with 16lb of grain. Going with a 1.33qt/lb i figured 5.2 gallons for my mash. Once i collected the first runnings i had just over 4.5 gallons. This left me with 1.5 gallons to sparge with. I was short on my og but just barely. Fkr batch sparging what is the best ratio to use. Right now i am going to try 1qt/lb to try and even it out between strike and sparge.
