I'm doing a 3 gallon BIAB Founders Breakfast Stout clone (https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1399170/founders-bs-3-gal) in a 5 gallon pot, and am trying to use the recipe builder to accurately calculate water requirements. My plan to make it work in the small pot, is to mash with 3 gallons of water, rather than the recommended Quick Water Calc of 4.39G, and pour water over the bag after mashing to bring to target pre-boil volume of 3.63G.
Questions:
1. Is there a particular way I should be entering this info into the recipe builder? I specified 3 gallon mash water, with 1 gallon sparge, but the quick water requirements doesn't seem to be affected by this, and still wants 4.39G.
2. How will using only 3G of mash water affect the ph differently than shown in the recipe calculator? Should I be concerned?
3. Pour over water - heated or not?
Other thoughts?
