If I was to double a recipe would my mash water need to be higher? They call for 3.98 gallons of water at 159f this is for a 5 gallon brew NLRB 10 gallons. So would the temp be the same for 10 gallons? Also would almost 8 gallons of water and 30lbs and 20oz of grain fit into an 10 gallon mash tun with the 8 gallons of water?

Your strike water temp will most certainly change, even if only by a few degrees. I use this calculator to help determine amounts and temps of strike water.

To find out if your mash tun is large enough, you can use the third calc down on this site....

Hopefully that helps!

I have a 62qt coleman and that tops out at 32lbs. Look in How to brew for infusion formulas doing them by hand will allow you to eventually taste a recipe in your head.
You mash in with quarts per pound of grain, so the temp stays the same but the volume of water increases.
