Help with understanding recipe

[codym]

Not getting a response from the original thread. Have all of the ingredients sitting here ready to brew, but I have no idea if I want to shoot for 5.5 gallons of wort or 6 gallons of wort. I think its 6, but maybe this means 6 after you add lime aid. (you add half gallon lime aid on day 3 of fermentation) I don't want to be wrong because my OG will probably be way off if so. Here's the recipe:

SD-Slim recipe
All Grain
6.25lbs Pale Malt (2 Row)
4lbs White Wheat Malt
1lb Vienna Malt
****Mash 158 for 45 minutes****
0.25 Motueka Hops at 60 Minutes
0.25 Sorachi Ace 20 minutes
0.25 Motueka Hops 20 minutes
0.25 Sorachi Ace 7 Minutes
0.50 Lime Zest 5 Minutes
White Labs Hefeweizen IV Ale Yeast
****Start Vigorous Fermentation****
After Vigorous Fermentation subsides, add 1.75L Simply Limeade
****Ferment for a minimum of 3 weeks****

Just curious where the recipe came from? My guess would be 5.5g into primary then add the half gal later to make 6?

Here's a link to the recipe, it doesn't really indicate, but I'd probably go with Brewmex's suggestion

Thanks, I will go with that.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. But if you wait till fermenting to make 6 gallons, your keg won't hold it all. Unless you lose a gallon in transferring

You may want to plug it in software with your efficiency and go from there. It looks like it's configured for 5.5 gal at 70% efficiency but if your efficiency is very different you will also miss your OG.
