Hi All,
I have bottled (2) standard extract kits, and I am brewing my 3rd on Saturday. I am hoping to make my move to All Grain by June, but I want to take my time, go through the strokes, and make sure my technique and knowledge are all sound before I take the plunge.
After Saturday's brew, I am going to make the move to partial mash. I am going to build a 10 gal mash tun prior to my move to All Grain, but I'm not there yet. As such, what would be a good partial mash tun? An unmodified 4-5 gallon cooler perhaps? A cheapy? Or something more sophisticated.
Also, when doing partial mash, should I sparge? If so, can somebody provide me some advice on that?
Thanks much!
