I live in an apartment. I REALLY want to go to whole grain.
Lets say I want to mash 10lbs of malt. I would need 3 to 4 gallons of water. I could to this with 2 pots. Then if I build a luater tun I could use this to mash in.
What I'm not getting is the sparging part. John Palmers HOW TO BREW says to use 1.5 times water to sparge. So wouldn't I end up with 9 to 10 gallons of wort? What am I missing here? Am I going to let that much boil off?
