In my possession
1 12qt pot
1 20 qt pot
1 78 qt coleman extreme cooler (that I am forbidden to turn into a mash tun)
1 grain bag
assorted this and that.
gas stove with an overdrive.
SO right now im thinking of just boiling up 7.5 gallons of water (to temp)
dumping it into the cooler with the grain bag and grains.
and letting it mash for an hour
then drain it back into the pots for final boil where it will get additives and goodies.
The part im not yet sure of is the cooling.
I was thinking of just running it through some copper lines in the cooler after i fill the cooler with ice.
RUnning a standard or even a homemade immersion chiller would be too much considering where my pots will be and where my sink is.
So help?
