I recently bought a kit of Chestnut Brown Ale and was curious if anyone had any thoughts on the use of two 6qt pots for the sparging and lautering. I saw in the IPA thread that three 10qt pots would be best, but I am unfortunately limited to the two 6qt pots due to space constraints. That being the case, I would be forced to strain the 2qts of mash prior to heating the 4qts of water to 170F for the sparge. Should I maintain the 2qts at 170F after straining or is it safe to let it sit off the burner while I get the 4qts up to temperature.
I apologize if this is confusing. I'm really looking forward to brewing this and many other recipes (once my new thermometer arrives). Hope to have some 5g carboys shipped once I'm in my new apartment so that I can start my appfelwein and mead
