had 2.6 Sparge so:

= Mash 6.6 G Sparge 1.5-2.5 G
But 6.5 G and 14lbs takes above tube so make it:
mash 6 sparge 2-3G
had room for more water so:
Used added 25 G =6.25 G and 14 lbs
Wound up w 5 G from mash=
Sparged w 1.5 but then added DME water so was way high again around 7 G to start on boil = 3-4 hr boil

NEXT TIME USE LESS WATER W DME ALSO REDUCE SPARGE
WANT TO BE ROUGHLY 6.25 W BOIL SO .25 G FOR DME AND .5g for sparge
