Edit - How does this sound for 10 gallon batches using batch sparging method using a pump on single tier system?
Keggle 1 = MT
Keggle 2 - Boiling Pot
10 gallon round Cooler to catch the first run from MT
So I would:
1. Heat water and mash in MT,
2. Transfer 1st runnings to 10 gallon cooler.
3. Water heated from Boiling Pot, transfer to MT
4. 2nd runnings from MT transferred back to Boiling Pot
5. Transfer 1st runnings from cooler to boiling Pot.
-------------------------
Right now I have 2 keggles and am making stands for them with the burners built in. I have a beer pump that will be here tomorrow. I had been doing 5 gallon extracts, then switched to 10 gallons. Now I am switching to all grain. I did a BIAB all grain 10 gallon but want to do more of a traditional all grain setup. I think I want to start off with batch sparging.
From what I have read the 10 gallon cooler for a mash tun will have limitations with how much grain I can do in a 10 gallon batch so that makes me lean towards getting a 3rd keggle. I could use a cooler for the HLT and one of the kegs for MT.
Basically Im on information overload and want to know what people who all ready have this setup think I should try.
I see some of my options as
1 Cooler for MT (60gt cube cooler?)
2 Another keggle
3 Cooler as HLT (size?) and keg I have already for MT
My space is not really all that limited but it would take some work in my garage to make this fit with 3 kegs side by side without rebuilding work benches, sink ect...which is fine just gonna take a while
