While I still have many questions, I want to know what to do if my mash tun and lauter tun is not the same. I bought a turkey fryer setup for step mashing option and modified a 40 qt cooler with a manifold for lautering and fly sparge built into the lid.
Is it
1) OK to move my grains from the mash tun to the lauter tun without ruining the brew or
2) should I just use a single infusion and not worry
Is malto-dextrine OK to use in all-grain recipes if my beer lacks body? I see it used in extract recipes but not in all-grain.
