I love the sticky on how big my mash tun needs to be, but I'm working at it from the opposite end.
I currently have a 70 quart cooler mash tun that holds 42 lbs of grain max. I'm in the process of building a 55 Gallon mash tun that can hold up to 132 lbs of grain. I know theirs got to be some equation that looks something like:
X size Mash Tun * Initial Boil Gravity / Efficiency = Total Wort
I know I need to know my efficiency right? Or at least my final goal. Like say I want to know how much 1.080 wort I could get at the end of an hour boil, I know my efficiency is ~50% because I do parti-gyle mashes.
Or how many total gravity points are available in x lbs of grain.
I've confused myself now...good luck everybody else!
