I'm planning on ordering an oatmeal stout (mmm) from Midwest. This will be my first partial mash. I've been reading a decent amount to get familiarized with the process. In addition to my 5 gallon SS pot I currently use, I also have a 2.5 gallon sauce pot for the sparge water. Is this pot sufficient since I'll just be heating the sparge water, or do I need to get another SS pot? Also, I'm planning to use my bottling bucket as my mash tun and wrap a towel around it. The guy at my LHBS said I can use this as an alternative to getting one of the rubbermaid coolers. Is this bucket ok to use since the temp will probably be around 160 degrees? Just wondering if anyone recommends anything else. I'd like to not have to get anymore equipment now since I just finished my kegerator setup. Thanks for the help.
