Alright, I have a simple question that maybe someone can help me with.
I recently got an Anvil Foundry, and already thoroughly cleaned it to remove the manufacturing oils.
Since this is the first time I am going to use the Anvil Foundry system, I bought an all-grain kit from Austin Homebrew because I wanted to do a simple recipe that has already been thought out for my first run. But I just noticed that the kit calls for a different volume(less amount) of strike/mashing water volume than what the tables in the Anvil Foundry manual suggest I should use for the same weight of grain.
Which one should I go with for the 8 lbs grain bill?
Austin Homebrew kit suggests:
Strike/Mash water volume 2.5 gallons
Sparge water volume 5 gallons
total finished 6 gallons
Anvil Foundry suggests:
Strike/Mash water volume 5.5 gallons
Sparge water volume 1 gallon
My gut tells me to follow the Anvil suggestions. Sorry if this is such a basic newbie question, but I am a newbie.
