Hello,
Been reading the site for a long time and finally had a question I couldn't find answered already. I have been brewing whole grain batches for about a year and just use one pot for everything due to $$. I heat the water and mash directly in pot. filter it into a fermenter pail then add water to mash grains to get up to temp and let it basically mash a second time as my "sparge" then pour it off to get 6 gallons of wort. Clean out my pot and put the wort in it to boil. Seems to work well with good results but I haven't read anyone else doing a similar thing and wanted to get feedback and or share my experience.
