I brewed my 4th batch yesterday. First All grain. I couldn't quite afford these large brew pots so i scaled a recipe to 3 gallons. I converted a five gallon igloo cooler for a mash tun, and found out (a little to late) that it was far too small for my grain bill. (did a porter at about 7.25 lb grain bill) I eventually got the grain bed to float during my sparge, about 15 minutes in. However i had no room for any standing water on top of the bed. So my questions: any thoughts on what this does to the final product? Is that a huge grain bill for 3 gallons of beer? (i know how to do math...I scaled the recipe accurately)
