hey everyone,
I have a quick question about the capacity of my equipment. I have a cooler in the basement that's rarely used for cooling things so I want to start experimenting with AG to see if I want to do this long term.
I have a 29 quart (7.25 gallon) rectangular cooler, and two 4 gallon brew pots. How much grain can I mash?
Instead of installing a braid, spigot etc. I will use grain bags initially to hold the grain while mashing. How much is reasonable to put in each grain bag -- they're the largest I could find at the LHBS?
Thanks!
Edit: To calculate the volume I measured the insides to get 1683 cubic inches and according to the google calculator is 7.25 gallons which in turn equates to 29 quarts.
