I am deciding to try all grain again, after my first failure with BIAB on the stove top, and have an Igloo cooler all set up for mashing in. Since my gas stove can't handle large amounts for boiling, I want to try a 2.5 gal batch.
I'm thinking of something relatively simple like Ed's Haus pale ale.
My question: since I will have a small amount of grain in the cooler, and a large "dead space", will this contribute problems? I plan on pre-heating the tun and letting the temp fall naturally to my desired mash temps.
Will this work and hold relatively steady mash temps? Thanks in advance.
