Hi All,
My mash tun is a 48qt cooler which has worked extremely well for me to date..
The problem I have is I pretty much maxed out the TUN at 27Lbs of grain @ 1.25/qts H20/Lb.
I am planning on brewing a bigger beer with 33+ LBS of grain, so my question is will I lose efficiency if I thin out the ratio of water to (1-1)? I can always use more sparge water to get the 13 gallons I'm looking for.
I have had some great luck with efficiency and really don't want to compromise, I would rather build a bigger Tun if need be.
Cheers,
Frank
