I'm making an Imperial Pumpkin Porter (yes I know, it's early in the season) that will be aged another month or so on top of bourbon soaked oak cubes. Pretty stoked about it because in October I'm going to serve it at an office Halloween party.
Anyway, this beer is going to be big. Just shy of 21 lbs of grain. I made an imperial stout months ago that was 18 lbs of grain and that filled my 10 gallon mash tun with water to the brim. No way 21 lbs of grain and water are going to fit.
Luckily for me, I still have my 5 gallon mashtun from before the upgrade. My plan is to use both at the same time and I know this can be done as I've seen a video of a guy making a Russian imperial stout. I'd just have two tubes going to the pot at once.
Math wise, how do you recommend I distribute the strike water and grains accordingly between the 10 and 5 gallon tun?
