Hey guys and gals, I need a little help here. I'm planning to do a kolsch for my next brew. I have a few partial mashes under my belt, but to save some money I want to do all grain on this one. The problem is I'm limited to my 2 gallon cooler. I can mash around 4.5 pounds of grain at one time. Does anyone think I'll have a problem doing two seperate mashes before I start to boil? I know this will signifigantly lengthen my brew day. I don't really care because I work at night and have nothing to do on my nights off. Will it cause any problems to do one mash, let it sit in my brewpot and then do my second mash?
Here's the recipe for suggestions.
7.46 lbs. German 2-row Pils
0.32 lbs. Crystal Malt 20°L
0.98 lbs. Corn Flaked info
0.6 oz. Perle (Pellets, 8.25 %AA) boiled 60 min.
0.50 oz. Hallertau (Pellets, 4.50 %AA) boiled 15 min.
0.50 oz. Saaz (Pellets, 5.00 %AA) boiled 1 min.
Yeast : WYeast 2565 Kolsch
Thanks all
