I am brewing all-grain for the 1st time...using 8.00 lb UK Maris Otter (2 Row) UK. It is going to be a 5 gallon batch...and I have everything ready....but I dont know how to calculate the amount of water I need for the mash-tun (for the 60 min-conversion part) and then the amount of water for the sparging.......can anyone tell me how to start calculating them?
At this stage...is it important to know the temperature of the striking water? I guess not....but I hope you guys can tell me more.
Ah....and I guess I will need to calculate the amount of water that will be absord and the water that will evaporate later.....any ideas on those?
Thanks
