I just recently got into home brewing and have my first extract brew in my primary right now about ready to be racked into the secondary. I know I may be a little out of my league since I have just started, but the idea of all grain brewing is very intriguing. I guess I am just looking for basic info on how to go about mashing for the first time. I plan on doing it in a cooler that has been converted to a mash tun. I don't really know where to even begin... I guess I am curious as to how you figure out how much grain you are going to use (total as well as each individual type of grain), as well as how much water you can use. I ask the second question about the water because the biggest pot that I have only hold 3 gallons to the brim and I am wanting to make a 5 gal batch so it is possible to get it down to a more concentrated state as with an extract and then add the concentrated wort to clean boiled and cooled water? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys!
