Yesterday I brewed my 3rd batch. It was a partial mash kit from Austin homebrew and was the Alaskan smoked porter with some additional grains I added to the recipe. Both batches before this I did my steeping of the grains and the boil on an electric stove which was miserable lol. So I bought this setup on craigslist a few days back and this was my first time using it. Overall it was much more simple and the brew process was great but I ran into one issue. The beginning directions were to put 2 gallons of water in my pot or keg i suppose and heat to 156 to steep the grains. I had roughly 5 1/2 lbs of grains and with 2 gallons of water in such a large pot the water would not cover the grains completely. So my question is do i need to buy something smaller or can i use more water from the start. Thanks Jake
