Hi Guys,
Heres the thing. I currently have handy and freely available a 55 L Rectangular cooler to make a Lauter Tun out of.
I don't plan on making bigger than a 22L or 5 Gal batch of beer at a time.
I have previously been doing some extracts w/ steeping and partial mashes.
However the more I read the more I think why not go the whole hog and do all grain.
The thing is this. Should I be making the dimensions of my Lauter Tun smaller so that I get a deeper grain bed?
For example building a wall into one side. Easy enough to do.
Or is there a better way that someone can think of?
Any help you can give me would be great.
Thanks
Warwick
