Notes

MASH VOLUME:

  • 1.25 qt/lb mash thickness
  • 27qts strike water volume
  • ~0.5 qt/lb water absorption = 11 qts
  • Total mash vol = total vol of water + total vol of grains
  • ~0.32 qt/lb water displacement by grains = 7 qts
  • 15 qts + 3.84 qts = 34 qts total mash volume / 8.5 gallons

    SPARGE VOLUME:
  • Vol of first runnings = strike water vol - water absorption - water loss at bottom of mash tun - liquid in lines/pumps.
  • 27 qts strike - 11 qts absorption - 1 qt loss - 0.25 qt lines = 14.75 qts vol of first runnings
  • Total volume of sparge = target pre-boil volume - volume of first runnings
  • 52 qts target - 14.75 qts first runnings = 37.5 qts or 9.25 gallon sparge water

    PRE-BOIL VOLUME:
  • Strike water + Sparge water - Grain Absorption - Losses = Pre-Boil Vol.
  • 27 qts strike + 37.5 qts sparge - 11 qts absorption - 1.25 qts losses = 52.25 qts / 13 gallons
