I am trying to mock up a way to upgrade our batches to the 50 gallon range.
The kettle and fermentation are straight forward enough - just spend some money.
I am having trouble figuring out a way to come up with a straightforward solution to doing a mash this large.
Would you guys say it's ok to use two coolers for this? Say two 150qt coolers? Trying to get a single cooler in the 250qt range is expensive but two 150qt coolers are much more reasonable.
What would be the pitfalls/pros/cons of doing something like this?
I would love to hear what people with experience use?
I should mention we are trying to keep our costs down as this is basically a pilot system to be used for a year or two and then hopefully upgraded again to pro setup.
