I'm feeling confused. My last 5 g AG batch I mashed 14lbs of grain with 5.4g water and batch sparged with 5.07 g of water. Collected 50% of wort on first running (most likely less) with 1.078 gravity. batch sparged inwith5 one step collecting approx 4 g at a 1.030 gravity. Total 8 g of preboil volume with 1.036 gravity. One problem is I'm guessing on volumes. I was anticipating a preboil gravity of 1.057. So how did i miss it? I'm using 1.25 qts/lb of water and a 10g mash tun. Should I increase the water to grain ratio because i have room for it or increase grain bill with multi batch sparge steps? Do I sound confused..think I am.
