Ok, I've never done this multiple infusion before, so if I'm off in La La land, let me know. This dogfish ale clone takes about 18 lbs of grain (16 German pils, 2lbs amber malt) so it is heavy! Doing this in my cooler mash tun and after sparge plan is to have 6.85 gal of wort for 105 minute...

Ok thanks. I've played with the calculator. Of course I don't want to be working with more then seven gallons for a 5 gallon batch (105 minute boil on the wort later). So with the large amounts of boiling water I will need to add to hit rests I'd imagine I'll have to heat up some of the...

When you add boiling water with the infusion calculator, I am assuming you drain off some if the runnings, reheat those to temp,and cycle it that way. This way you aren't overly diluting your wort. Is this accurate? I mean, at one point I'll have to raise the cooler from a 149 rest to 170...

I'm going to be doing my first attempt at A dogfish head clone brew. It has an initial mash temperature of 122°, mashing. Then, raise the temperature to 149 for mash duration. Here's the problem I'm running into: I've never brewed with a variable mashing temp. I mean, I've always got my strike...
