Hey. I have a 4 gallon and one 3 gallon pot, plus a couple pots at 2.5 gallon . Will this somehow be enough going all grain, considering all other equipment is in place?? I have a 5 gallon grain set that i bought.
Thank you!

It probably
could be done.
An article just went up on the HBT homepage that would give you a good idea of how to do all grain on a stove.
Considerations:
Do you have a grain bag? You'll need one to separate the grains from the wort.
Do you have a bucket you can use for the sparge step?
How many pounds of grain do you have? If it's more than 10 you may not be able to fit it in your 4 gallon pot to mash. Check the
Can I Mash It? calculator here
If you have those, here's how I would try it:
-Mash in your 4 gallon pot using your grain bag.
-Move grains and bag to bucket and add sparge water.
-Remove grains and add first wort from pot.
-Split this wort between at least 3 of your other pots. Trying to pack it all into 2 pots may be a recipe for a boilover.
-Break out the calculator and split your hops accordingly
You may just want to stick to partial mash (or just smaller all grain batches) until you have the capacity to boil 6.5 gallons in one pot. Good luck!
