10 gallon batch - What equipment can I get by with?

[TahoeTexan]

I am going to brew my first AG batch in a couple weeks. I need to do a 10 gallon batch in order to brew enough for the group I am brewing for. I have access to the following:
1. 2 - 15 gallon brew kettles
2. 1 - 7.5 gallon brew kettle
3. 1 - 10 gallon rubbermaid mash tun
4. 3 - 6 gallon fermenters.

Will this be sufficient to get it all done? I guess my main concern is the mash tun.

Depends on what you are making. I've done a couple of 10 gallons batches using a 10 gallon cooler for the MLT. Gravities were in the upper 1.050's with 75% efficiency and grain bills of about 22lbs.

The mash tun was FILLED to the tippy top, but it worked.

Boiled in a single 15 gallon kettle.

Fermented in two 6.5 gallon carboys.

I plan to brew the Lagunitas IPA clone:

About 28lbs of grain.

Scale it to 10 gallons instead of 12... That will put you to just a hair over 24# of grain total... With 1.25qt/# you'll be able to mash it in your 10 gallon cooler/MT... Otherwise, you'll need to mash 1qt/# to get it to fit into the 10 gallon cooler/MT...
