Hey all! First time poster here...so please don't judge me too harshly.
I'm relatively new to home brewing. I've done some extract and partial mash recipes. I've been talking to a buddy of mine that was reading about doing a cheap all-grain set-up using 5-gallon plastic buckets for his mash/lauter tun.
I've been doing 5-gallon batches with both the extract and partial mash recipes. I'd like to keep it about that size, or maybe increase it a little.
So, here's my question: How much beer can I make with an all-grain recipe if I'm working with 5-gallon plastic buckets as my mash/lauter tun? Also, if I split it into 2 different batches (half grain in each bucket) and then marry in my boil pot, will that adversely affect my final product?
I'm trying to get a grip on the all-grain stuff before I go out and spend lots of $$$.
Thanks for any advice you can lend!!
