Currently mashing 5.5 lbs of grains in 2 gallons of water in my 20qt brew pot....
My 2nd pot is only 8 quarts. How much water can i put in there for the sparge so that it doesn't overflow? Hoping to do 1.5 gallons, is that too much with the 5.5lbs of grains?
Alternatively, after I move the grains out of the mash, can I pour the wort temporarily into a sanitized brew bucket and then bring my sparge water to temp in the 20qt pot?
