Is it possible to brew all-grain on my stovetop with a 2.5 gal pot if I contain my self to doing 3 gallon or smaller batches? It would essentially be like doing partial mash recipe except I'm not adding extract later, and the final volume and the hops would be adjusted to reflect that.
Like mash and sparge 6 pounds of 2-row, then do a 2.5 gal boil on my stovetop, then top off with another .5 gal water for a 3 gallon batch? Can this be done?
I like brewing in my kitchen as opposed to outside, don't want to shell out for a turkey fryer, or fool with propane tanks. I don't mind building a mash tun I guess, and I don't mind the extra time or brewing more often since it would be smaller batches. I really do want to save money on ingredients though. I built up a recipe and calculated it out on beer recipator, looks like I can make 3 gallons of a 6% APA with crystal 10L and cascades for under 15 bucks. Thats a lot better than brewing 5 galloon extract batches for 35 dollars from the same brewstore.
