I wanted to do a California Common but the recipe I found uses 13 pounds of grains. Would this be too much for it? I plan on single infusion and batch sparging this one.
Thanks!

Dude said:13 will work--but it will be pushing the limit. You don't wanna go much higher than that, especially if you batch sparge.

1.1qt/lb=14.5lbs grain
1qt/lb=16lbs grain
.9qt/lb=17lbs grain
this is what they give with there 5gal cooler. Hope this helps
What he said....gruntingfrog said:I've done 13 lbs in my 5 gallon cooler. It is about as much as I would do in the 5 gallon. It only took 2 batch sparges to get 6.5 gallons out, but the mash and both sparges totally filled the cooler. The beer turned out great, btw.
