Brewing Notes: Standard Turbid Mash from Wild Brews

Ok - so this doesn't actually put 11+ gallons into the pot. The last step in the mash is a recycling of what was already in there and has been drained. So that 8.5 qts is re-used. So this should produce more along the lines of 9 gallons of wort.

Mash went more or less on schedule. Small boilover issue when heating first runnoff that was supposed to be used to bring the mash to 173. Added 1 qt to sparge to account for this lost runoff.

boiled 4 hours. Thats a long freaking time!
