Remember when you were a kid and you put more food on your plate than you could possibly eat, your parents would say: "Your eyes are bigger than your stomach"? Well, the home brewer version may be "Your eyes are bigger than your mash tun"! I'm making a W00t Stout today and knew 29 pounds of grain was pushing the boundries of what my mash tun could hold, so I have no one to blame but myself.
This is strike water only. Mash temp is at protein rest of 122°F and I still need to add 3 gallons of boiling water to get it to 148°F! I think I'll be doing my first ever decoction mash to get it up to temp.
This is the recipe: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/812691/-w00tstout-nb-
