So I just converted a 1/4 barrel keg into a brew kettle (was sitting in my parents backyard since they have bought their new house - figured the morality of keg stealing was wiped clean). Heres a pic:
My question is: Can I do a AG BIAB where I bring the correct amount of water to 155, pour into my 5 gallon Gott cooler, add the grains in a large nylon bag, mash for 45 minutes (at the same time heating sparge water-whatever it takes to get to 5 gallons-in the kettle), dunk the grain bag into the kettle when temp is reached, add the mashed wort to the kettle, then continue the boil as usual?
Are there any problems that anyone can see with this setup? It basically boils down to I dont want to go buy a 10 gallon cooler.
Thanks in advance! So geeked to be able to do full(ish) boils now!
