so i was going to brew this up this weekend and got to thinking that my 10gal mash tun might not be big enough...

this is my first all grain and while i know it has the water capacity for this much grain, i don't know how grain reacts with the water in terms of swelling and what not, nor do i know what 21lbs of grain even looks like volume wise, so was wondering if a 10gal MLT will do the trick?

EDIT: Nevermind... found this http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/how-big-your-mash-tun-needs-123585/

It's gonna be close!!! But it should work.

Hey guys,

Can someone help me construct a version of this recipe using the hops I have on hand? I am pretty new to this with only 14 batches under my belt. Six of them AG.
My list is below. I'd really like to try and work that Nelson and Falconer's in as i am a huge fan of Alpine's Nelson. Thanks in advance. I am not opposed to grabbing a few ounces off the original list, but I am trying to use some of this stuff up. Are there any good substitutions that jump out at you? Thanks in advance.

Pellets
Nelson Sauvin - 4 oz @ 12.4%
Liberty 3.5 oz @ 3 %
Cascade - 2.5 oz @ 6.5%
Fuggle - 2 oz @ 4.8%
Falconer's Flight 2 oz @ 10.5%
Styrain 1.8 oz @ 4%
Warrior - 1.1 oz @ 17.2%
Simcoe .9 oz @ 12.2%
Willamette .95 oz @
Magnum .25 @

I ended picking up most of the hops as called for. Will be substituting liberty for crystal and either the Nelson or Falconers for the Summit. Couldn't locate those two. Hope to brew it next weekend.

So, one more question. Are you targeting 6.5 gallons post boil knowing you will lose half a gallon to the hops and break material, or are you fermenting in something larger? My buddy and I are trying to figure this out. Are you pitching yeast onto 6.5 gallons or something more like 6 or 5.5 or lower?

Anyone help a noob out?

Here's what I've come up with.
I figured on doing a late extract addition for several reasons, one being that the bittering hops will be in there for a bit longer, and in my head that makes it better

Just want to be clear, im brewing this today. The corn sugar will be in for the whole boil, right?

thanks.

Update- well brewed this up yesturday. My sg was 1.085 little under but only my 3rd ag, still learning my setup. Made a mistake, miss read the hop schedule and added the crystal addition in on the full 60min boil. I did everything else right so hopefully doesn't com out bad. It is happy and ferment away at 64.
