My 5 gallon Rubbermaid cooler limits my mashing to about 12-13 lbs. of grain, which limits my OG to about 60 for 5 gallons. I want to start brewing Strong Belgians and Imperials and such, but can't afford to scale up my system right now. So my options are:
1) Max out my MT and boil to a smaller volume = less beer or,
2) Max out my MT and supplement with dry or liquid extract (base malt) at the boil.
Which way do you guys go? Does adding an extra 2 - 3 lbs of extract affect the flavor much? What is a good quality extract to use for supplementing AG?
Thanks!
