(3/4" of space left at the top.) - 5.8125 lb of wet grains soaked up almost 1 gallon of water. - poured the mini-mash from the pot, into the colander in a bucket. - cleaned the pot, moved the colander into the pot and pourted the wort back through the grains in the colander again. - cleaned the bucket and moved the wort and colander back into the bucket. (without pouring the wort through the grains again.) - sparged the grains in the colander. - i left the grains sitting around for another 30 minuntes draining and this produced an extra 3 cups of liquid. the SG of this extra liquid was 1.037. lower than the starting wort SG. i poured this liquid out. - estimated the volume of the malt extract to be 0.75 Gal. so after adding the extract to the kettle, the kettle was very full at about 4.75 Gal.
