I am an all extract brewing that wants to make a transition to All grain. After doing some research Ive found that biab is probably the friendliest method to start. I want to start with a small batch as I only have a 5 gallon stockpot (JUST ONE). I had the following questions and I hope you guys can help me
1- I only have 1 stockpot, so I am not able to use a second one for sparging at 170 degrees. I read somewhere that I can use my fermentor and add some hot water and do the sparge in there for 15 min and then transfer that back to the stockpot. is that ok? lol
2- To mantain the temperature of the mash infusion(150-155) can I use my oven to keep it warm? My stockpot fits there.
3- Whats the biggest volume recipe I can do with a 5 gal stockpot? I have never done a full boil so I am skeptical.
Thanks for your help guys, this forum has really helped me improve my skills
