Own malted barley use

I malted my own barley for experiment. But I've not used them yet. I mean bought castle malt and munton's Irish Stout LME but haven't used them too yet. First, I want to brew my own malted barley, if i make a mistake i will risk them. Because, there are not any homebrew suppliers in Uzbekistan to buy things easily.

So, the barley I malted (5kg) looks like caramel amber malt from appearance. But a little lighter than it. I'd like to know how much water I should use for steeping it (5kg). I'm going to use 'brew in a bag' way.

Thanks for your advices.

Depends on the water/grist ratio you want. Generally 0.33 gallons per lb is common, but much thicker and thinner ratios are used for different mash manipulations.

So 5kg = 11lb, 3.8 gallons = 14.38 Liters
