10 gallon partial extract questions

superjunior said:

I've been doing 5 gallon partial extract kits. I really enjoy brewing this way and I'm not ready to jump into all grain just yet. I want to do 10 gallon batches so I got a nice 15 gallon brew pot and some more ale pales. I just purchased two 5 gallon imperial nut brown kits figuring I can just double up on the ingredients to do a 10 gallon batch. Please correct me if this assumption is wrong. I'll be doing full boils so does 12 gallons of water sound about right? Also the cost of the 2 kits was almost 90 bucks - ouch! I know buying the ingredients separately will be a lot cheaper but I'm having a hard time finding 10 gallon partial extract recipes, or even kits for that matter. Any help is appreciated, thanks

Do yourself a huge favor and look for deathbrewers stove top all grain method. Its a brew in the bag all grain for stove top. Since your going to do bigger volume brews and you have the pot to do it in, why not just do the jump and go all grain.

Ive been brewing for over a year now, did several extract batches, did 2 partial mashes and realized that ag is so much better. You dont need a mash tun or anything fancy if you do biab, and since your already doing the partial mashes why not just step it up, it will save you some cash and you will have a lot more control over the brews and recipes. Then you only need to buy some DME for emergency purposes in case you miss your OG.
