The kids all went together and got me a 15 gallon kettle so I can do 10 gallon batches. My first batch was 29lbs of grist. Mash tun is an 11.7 gallon capacity Mash King. I ended up having to mash pretty thick, and do two batch sparges. Next batch is 24 lbs, so I will be able to mash thinner, and maybe do one batch sparge, but will have to jump out that window when I get there.
My questions:
Is this the way it will be for me with 10g batches? I don't see a bigger cooler type mash tun on the market, and don't really want to spend $500 on a stainless insulated 15 gallon unit.
Is mashing thick, and doing two batch sparges a good practice?
Thanks in advance,
Craigerrr
