I'm looking at a 48 quart rectangular cooler. If my calcs are correct, if 1.3 quarts of water is needed for each pound of grain, does that mean I can mash up to 36 pound batches in this cooler?
Or am I a nut case?

That's the size I have and 14 lbs of grain looks lost in it!

I brewed a barleywine eight days ago. The 20lb. grain bill plus water nearly filled my 48qt cooler. I could have squeezed in some more, but I wouldn't have felt very confident in my ability to stir without some overflowage.

At 1.25 qt/lb you should be able to mash close to 30lbs of grain in a 48qt cooler!!
Is this cooler big enough?
