I am planning on doing my first 10 gallon batch this weekend. I picked a nice surly furious clone recipe, ordered the grain, and then realized.... maybe my 10 gallon cooler won't be able to mash almost 27 pounds of grain with a 1.25 quart of water per lb of grain ratio..... If I drop the ratio to around 1 quart of water per lb of grain should I be ok or will my efficiency be awful? Also should I mash at a lower temperature say 151 degrees F or boil longer to increase efficiency? I was thinking of trying to mash for a long period of time overnight.
