Here's an article that talks about just that.

The gist is that it's between 0.1 and 0.2 gallons/pound of grain
depending on how fine the crush is and other practices. In my
experience it's closer to 0.1 than 0.2
For a 5 gallon batch (of finished beer) I shoot to collect about 8

I did have to cut my bazooka screens to fit properly, in both my 5
gallon and 10 gallon tuns. That said, I rarely have to recirculate
more than 2 qts.

No, I first drain the mash water (I get something over 5 gallons.)
At this point, I would expect that if I dump in 7 gallons of sparge
water, I would get 7 gallons back out; the grain being already
saturated. ...I think I'm getting more... Maybe the higher

I made a Grolsch clone from a kit put together by my LHBS. They said to
rack a week after fermentation subsided, which it did & I did. I racked to a
corny keg & let it sit for about 8 weeks in the lagerhaus (fridge). Folks
said it turned out fine & I thought it was pretty good too! I did, however,

Maybe you are forgetting about the 6.5 gallons used in the mash?? The
grain won't soak up all of that water.
Maybe you could try an experiment...put 1.5 quarts of water into a sauce
pan, add 1 pound of grain (for a mash ratio of 1.5 qts/pound), let it
soak for an hours and then pour the entire batch through a strainer to

I think it's a matter of adding up your losses + desired final volume
and divide by roughly two.
So for a 5-gallon batch (for me) I have
1/2 gallon lost in the bottom of mash tun (for me)+
0.15 gallons absorbed per pound of grain
for a 14 pound of grain recipe that means 2.8 gallons lost in the
grain + another 1/2 or so lost in the bottom of my mash tun for 2.6

I use either of two methods.
One, I let Strangebrew (or whatever brewing software you use) tell me
how much sparge water to use. This usually works out well.
Two, for bigger beers I have recently started draining the mash
completely without adding sparge water and subtracting the run-off
volume from the total volume I want to collect. Then I divide that in
