This weekend I'm going to attempt my first partial mash but I may have set myself up for a disaster. I've done a half-a** search of the forums and haven't found anything on my dilemma.
I have a 5+ gallon pot and 8 pounds of grain. Without actually putting everything together, I don't know if 3 gallons + 8 lbs = overflow or clumpy grains.
The plan is to strike with 3 gallons, sparge with 1, add another 4.5 lb of LME (it's a big beer) then top off.
Any thoughts?
