Palmer's book seems to recommend 1.5 to 2 quarts of water per lb of grain for mashing. In the partial mash discussions on this board and elsewhere, I've seen ratios as low as 1.25 or even 1 quart per lb of grain. Are there any significant drawbacks to going as low as this ratio when partial mashing?
I have a 2 gallon round cooler that I'm considering for partial mashing. At those lower water/grain ratios I guess I could easily PM 4 to 5 lbs of grain, right?
Or should I really go to a 3 gallon or larger cooler?
