How to Use This Calculator
- Enter grain weight in lbs and your target mash temperature (°F).
- Set grain temperature (room temperature is fine for most situations).
- Adjust water-to-grist ratio (qt/lb) — 1.25–1.5 qt/lb is standard.
- Review Strike Water Temperature and Water Volume (gallons) needed for the mash.
