I bought a water cooler to use as a mash tun and bought ingredients for about 8 beers only to find out that I'm getting very low efficiency due to not enough sparge water as I cannot handle more than 6 gals in my brew pot.
Too many things requiring $$$ so I've had to forfeit my hobby funds, and with Christmas fast approaching I'm assuming I'll not be funded until next year.
As I have the grain to do a full batch I wondered about mashing and boiling the remainder I'd need maybe 2 days in advance. I'm uncertain whether or not I'd need to boil this longer to reduce the volume or not. Maybe I ought to try this with the one I may not cry as much about.
Anyone else do this? I only found one thread but it didn't get anywhere.
