Hello fellow brewers, this is my first post. I'm a long time beer drinker and a first time brewer. I've done a couple of Extract Kits and I'm able to follow directions pretty well. I want to start brewing some of the recipies that I've seen here on the forum. But before moving on, I'm having a problem. The problem is reading a recipe when no times are added to a recipe. Is there a normal time and temp for mashing the grains when extractin the wort? For example with this recipe that was posted, how long and at what temps would one mash and sparge the grains for? If this recipe is for a 5 Gal batch, how much wort would I collect before bring it to a boil to start adding my hops? I just want to be able to a posted recipe and be able to read it and brew it. Thanks for the help in advanced.
