I'm mashing in a converted 5 gallon cooler and a couple of my next brews require around 14 lbs of grain. I've only mashed 10-11.5 lbs so far with a 1.3 qt/lb ratio. To fit 14lbs of grain I'm going to need to lower my ratio to about 1.1 qt/lb and I'm wondering how this might affect my mash and my wort. The only thing I've found while reading up on this is that I might end up with a more fermentable wort. How much more fermentable might it be and is there anything else I should take into consideration?
