I usually do one all-grain batches but am planning my first 3 gallon; it will be brew in a bag.
Is it possible to do this in a 4 Gal pot? The reason I ask is because I live in the middle of nowhere and the only place selling stainless steel stockpots has a 4 gallon for $29 and a 7.5 gallon for $89. If I can avoid having to pay the extra $69, it's a bonus.
If I can use the four gallon, how do I top things up at the end, as I'd imagine I'd lose a lot during the mash and boil. Is it possible to just litrally top the kettle up with water at the end, to reach 3 gallons? Or add it to the carboy?
