I'm going to brew a 5 gallon Belgian wit as my first BIAB
Ingredients as follows
4.75 lb Belgian Pilsner (2 Row)
3.00 lb White Wheat Malt
2.5 lb Flaked Wheat
0.50 oz Cascade (7.5%) (30min)
0.50 oz Cascade (7.5%) (5 min)
0.50 oz Orange Peel, Bitter (Boil 15.0 min)
0.50 oz Coriander Seed, Crushed (Boil 15.0 min)
1 Pkg Belgian Wit Ale (White Labs #WLP400)
The grain comes to 10.25 LB
A few questions
1) Should I go with 1.25 quarts per pound as my mash water i.e 12.81 quarts water i.e 3.2 pounds or do I need more ?
2) After a 60 min boil, do I not need to sparge and can just press down on the bag. i.e shouldn't be a need to top off to get to 5 LB wort ?
