Im sure this question has been answered in a round bout way before but I dont have the time to seach a bunch of forums so forgive me.
Im going to do a 6 gal biab batch of a Flimish Red. I have 13.5 lbs grain bill so with my calculations i figured im going to need 7.5 gal of strike water. My pot is 9 gal so im guessing there isn't enough room for the water and the grain ... right? (Anyone have a calculator for this?)
If I'm right on having too small a kettle anyone have any ideas on how i can make this work? I suppose i could use a bit less water but im guessing that would hurt my efficiency?
I would of considered making a smaller batch but i already have the grains milled and mixed in a bag.
