Water to grain ratio is an overblown variable at the homebrew scale. If the mash is reasonably wet, e.g., 1.0 qts/lb, you're going to get good conversion. If the mash is quite thin, e.g., 3.0 qts/lb, you're going to get good conversion. If the mash is still kind of dry, e.g., 0.8 qts/lb, you're probably not going to get good conversion. If you throw the mash into the virtually infinite Pacific Ocean where there are an unknown but probably low amount of enzymes, you're probably not going to get good conversion. I figure anything between 1.0 and 3.0 qts/lb is good. More experiments may be necessary to confirm. I will allow others to run these experiments.
