Can someone explain the difference between all grain and doing a mini mash. I have read and (think) I understand the principle and steps involved in doing a mini mash. I have a 3 gallon water cooler, that I am going to use for a mini mash my next brew. However I have read several websites (howtobrew.com is one of them) and I still have absolutely no understanding of hardware required for all grain. Can someone explain, or point me to a website that talks about hardware requirements? For example, If I can use my 3 gallon cooler (with no modifications) for a mini mash, why couldn't I just use a 5 or 10 gallon cooler (with no modificatios) for an all grain brew?
Maybe if I understand the procedure for all grain better, it would help.
Thanks in advance
Tim
