  I kind of pictured I'd run into problems like that.

  No thoughts, anyone?

  Just reread that you are doing stovetop brewing. Note that MOST stovetop electric elements CAN
  NOT get full volumes for a 5 gallon batch to a boil, so you are probably stuck with partical
  volume if yo...

  I was using the Can I Mash It calculator, along with the ratios I get on my equipment,
  including boil off, loss to trub, loss to grain absorbtion, and loss to contraction during

  I've done up to 15lbs of grain in my kettle for a 5.5 gallon DIPA, and still had a good 0.5

  So I've made several 5g batches with a 10 gal cooler with false bottom. Once the temp settles,
  the cooler maintains temp easily for an hour, and I usually hit about 65-70% efficiency.I'm
  happy with th...

  Looks like a great system for 2.5 g batches. How do you think it will work for 5 g? Obviously,
  the weight of the grain in the basket might be a concern. Additionally, how much strike water
  do you thin...

  Exactly! Do you have a gasket under the lid, or does it not require that tight of a seal?

  If you really want to ferment in SS you should look into fermenting in old Sanke kegs...a pony
  keg would be perfect for your brewing. I LOVE fermenting in my Sanke's. Lots of threads about
  it....My co...
