Hello, fellow brewers.
Only a few days before I start brewing my first all grain. I've decided to go with a BIAB method and here's what I've got:
4.75 gal pot (sadly it's the largest pot I've found)
8.8 lbs of base malt
4.4 lbs of caramel malt (I don't know exact names of malts, since that was a gift)
Challenger hops + Nottingham yeast.
I've tried playing around with this calculator, but having too little knowledge on the topic - it didn't help.
Now the problem is that I'm a greedy bastard. And I'd like to know how can I maximize the amount of final product with this setup? How about boiling water in another pot and adding it to the wort after I take out the mash? Or splitting the malt between two pots? Something other I cannot think about?
Any ideas are welcome
