2500 gallons year to date
My brother and i have yet to purchase the 5 gallon cooler to make our mash/lauter tun. I dont think we will before we brew this weekend. We are Extract with steeping grains (1#) typically. This time we have 3# of grains. My question is can we mash in those little cloth bags? Soak at the different temps, 20 min or so at 150, 30 min or so at 160 and then open the bags and dump in 170 degree water right into the middle of them while holding them to give it a half-assed sparge. Or will doing it this way be fultile and we will still end up with the 40ish% efficiencey that one gets from steeping?
Thanks
