Grain Bill

Post by KBrau »

Even at around 1.1 quarts per pound of grain, you would end up at around 12 gallons of mash with a 35lbs grain bill. I think the max you can do in a 10 gallon cooler would be closer to 28lbs. Good luck.

Well you can always brew a 5 gallon batch of the stuff and have enough room in your 10 gallon to do it with!

Extract

Post by KBrau »

You could also add some extract to the boil to make up for the grain that you couldn't add to the Mash.
