As it says in the title, this is just a hypothetical I couldn't really answer. No need to explain why just getting all the gear and doing a proper all grain is better...it's just a hypothetical.
That said... if you were to take the BYO approach to countertop, partial mashing, except going with the three gallon jug instead of the two (which would then allow you to mash six pounds of grain), could you, in theory, use two three gallon jugs and do a full all-grain mash that way?
You would seemingly be able to mash up to 12 pounds of grain.
Obviously you'd be doubling up everything (literally just doing two mashes simultaneously and then either dumping all the wort into one pot or if you had to, into two identical smaller pots).
My mind wants to tell me that you would be missing something by doing this but would you?
Again, it's just a silly question with no real point other than when I was asked, I couldn't convince myself that it would be ok. LOL
