I am an apartment brewer, and we've been happy so far with extract + specialty and some partial mashes in the standard 5 gallon size. We can only boil about 3 gallons a time comfortably and I don't have the space to mash and lauter enough grain for a 5 gallon batch.
However, my birthday is coming up and I think I'm going to be getting a 3 gallon Better Bottle so I can brew more often for less money (we also just can't go through 5 gallons that quickly). I want to do more experimental batches and play with recipes.
Is it feasible to do all grain in this size? How large would my mash volume have to be? Is 2.5 too small to be a stable batch? Thanks for all your insights!
