Does this sound right? Am I missing anything equipment wise (I got the boiling and cooling down I'm worried about the mashing). I feel like I'm forgetting something in my planning.
I'm doing a double batch sparge mainly due to equipment constraints. You will see what I mean below.
10 gallon batch
17.5 pounds of grain
1 10gal mash tun
1 15gal keggle (for wort boil)
1 approx 6.5gal kettle (for heating mash in and sparge water)
Is this going to work

- 5.25gal @ 175 looking for 153
- Close the lid wait 60 min
- Drain the wort into my kettle as fast as I can. I figure I get 3gal out with grain absorption
- Add 5.25 gal of 180 sparge water stir and give it 10min to settle
- Drain again. At this point I have 8.25 gallons
- Here is the kicker. It will take a while to heat another 5.25 gallons of water to 180deg. Is this going to hurt anything.

- Drain again. At this point I should have 13.25 gallons and I'm ready to boil
