When should I stop draining my mash tun?
My mash tun is a 10 gal rectangular cooler with a stainless steel braid going to the drain. The drain is the coolers drain.
If I leave the tun flat on the counter, there will be a lot of wort left in the bottom. The more of an angle I tip, the more wort I get. The longer I let it drain, the more wort I get. I assume I could tip it right on its end and drain for hours and get every last drop of wort out.
So when should I stop?
What are the downfalls of draining off too much?
