So I'm putting together my recipe outline and steps for a Dark Mild and I have run into a bit of a headscratch that I want to solicit your help with as to getting to the target 5.5 gallon batch.
The grainbill is about 7.1 pounds and with my normal process using 1.5 and 2 quarts per pound respectively for my strike and sparge water, after boil off and kettle loss, I'm about 2 gallons shy of the 5.5 target. I know i could just dump in water to make up the delta but that's gonna screw with my gravity.
I've never brewed a small beer so what's the trick?
