First All-grain here. Would 7.5 gallons of water seem to be about right for that recipe?
I think you're going to need closer to 9.5-10 gallons.

Also, do y'all use BR tap water?
If you can get some RO water from one of the filtered machines, I would go that route. If not, use BR tap water and treat with gypsum and calcium chloride and a touch of acid (lactic or a couple ounces of acid malt) to lower the pH. I'd still make sure to use a little gypsum and calcium chloride, which will do wonders for hoppy beers.

This bad boy came in yesterday. I can't wait to use it.
Also finally got to try my last batch. It was a New England IPA with Mosaic, Citra, and Cascade hops and clocked in at 6.16 ABV. It came out so-so with a little more sediment than I would have liked. This new fermenter should help out with that. For those of you with a conical fermenter, do you still do a primary and secondary fermentation or just one long one?
