Hello all, It's been years since I've brewed but I'm getting back into it. I'm using a recipe for a Belgian Quad and it says 8.2 gallons of water. I forget how this is done. Would that be the total amount for my strike water to use in my mash, or would this be the final volume for boiling in the kettle? Forgive my nube question and thanks in advance! Here's the recipe if that matters.
- 8.2 gallons of water
- 20lbs pilsner malt
- 5lbs Munich malt, Germany
- 1lbs aromatic malt
- 10.4oz special B
- 2 lbs. D-180 candi syrup
- 2 lbs. cane sugar
- 2 ounces Hallertau hops
- 2 ounces East Kent Goldings hops
