I have a 5 gal Igloo cooler (6-gal kettle) equipment set up. When I make a heavy beer (12 lbs or more grain) how do I get all the water calculated to fit? For example I have a recipe that calls for 23 lbs of grain. The Single Infusion, Full Body mash calls for 28.75 quarts of water, which won't fit in the 5 gal cooler. Is there a way to have the instructions split it in half and I do two (or more) mashes?
I think I'm just missing something.
