Ok I plan on doing an easy stovetop partial mashing but I don't have all the equipment used in the tutorial that's stickied. I was going to PM anyway but with a slight alteration to the process and was wondering how you guys think this will work:
1. I have an 8 gallon pot so I can do more than a 5 gallon boil (water size isnt a problem). I do NOT have a large grain bag but I do have two smaller ones that should hold 3-4 lbs of grain each.
2. I plan on heating water (1.25 qts/lb) up to strike temperature and putting both grain bags in the pot and then mashing for the requisite time.
3. Then I want to place the bags in my bottling bucket and pour a couple gallons of ~170 degree water over top for sparging. Might recirculate some of the sparge through the spigot on the bucket.
4. After 10 or so minutes I'll remove the grain bags and pour the sparge into the pot with the wort.
So will this work? And if it will what steps should I add to maybe raise the efficiency?
